Imphal, June 12 2016:
BJP should never politicize any major public issue like the ILPS, asserted Sagolband Assembly Constituency MLA RK Imo.
He was speaking at felicitation function of newly elected IMC Ward Development Committee Members at his Sagoland Bijoy Govinda residence today.
He said that BJP and for that matter any other political party should not politicize any public issue.
He went on to question the motive behind BJP State unit's meeting with Union Home Minister Rajnath ahead of the all party delegation.
It is BJP which is in power at the Centre.
As such, BJP State unit ought to have received information about the Government of India withholding the three Bills passed by the Manipur Legislative Assembly on August 31 last year.
If there are lapses in the Bills, all the political parties and all stake holders must work together on rectifying them rather than trying to score political mileage, Imo said.
It was people's faith in Congress party which elected three Councillors and five Ward Development Committee Members in Sagolband AC in the recent IMC election.
The MLA then called upon the gathering to work collectively and make Congress party's victory in the Manipur Legislative Assembly election of 2017 a common mission.
Downplaying BJP's victory in Assam, Imo main- tained that the BJP wave would never reach Manipur.
He went on to claim that he has been working sincerely and transparently for the development of Sagol-band AC.
A booklet which highlighted the activities of RK Imo as an MLA during the past four years was also released.
