Imphal, Feb 13:
Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju on a visit to Manipur ahead of the Manipur Legislative Assembly election 2022 said that people should not waste their single vote on the Congress party. People should avoid reopening the dark phase in Manipur that was witnessed during the Congress rule, he said in Imphal today.
Rijiju arrived in the state on Sunday to attend the Mega Yuva Conclave held at THAU Ground, Thangmeiband today. It was organised by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha Manipur.
Addressing the function as Chief guest, Rijiju said that the BJP government’s concern for the welfare of Manipur is reflected in the recent budget provision. There are tremendous changes in the state with the advent of the BJP-led government in the state, he said.
“I had visited Manipur four times on different occasions in connection with different election campaigns. The first time, I had come to Manipur was in 1994. Comparing to past some years, I can say that there are a lot of changes in the state now.
“To maintain this flow of development and shut the dark phase of Congress party rule, people should elect the BJP government to get absolute majority. People should not divert their mind for the regional party as the BJP will remain in power at the Centre for some more period,” he claimed.
Rijiju criticized the previous Congress party rule by charging that the divide and rule policy of the Congress party created ridges between various communities. Besides this, there was frequent bandh and blockade. However, nowadays, with the formation of the BJP government, such things are no longer happening, he added.
