Congress party ridiculed the BJP led government over the blame game being played using AFSPA card to woo voters with slashing criticism from the CLP leader Okram Ibobi Singh in the last minute election campaign today.
In an election campaign held at Heingang Mayai Leikai in Heingang Assembly Constituency, Okram Ibobi Singh said that controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) was enforced during the Congress period due to necessity and the Congress party removed it as it felt that it was not necessary from the 7 Assembly segments of Greater Imphal area. He questioned the BJP on why the government is not removing it from other assembly constituencies if it felt that it is no more required instead of blaming the Congress party?
Interestingly Heingang AC is where Chief Minister N. Biren Singh of BJP has been elected.
“Will the BJP keep on blaming the Congress by not doing anything if supposed an atom bomb is being planted?”, the 3 times Chief Minister, now the opposition leader ridiculed the BJP over their blame game on AFSPA.
The Congress leader also questioned on why the BJP led government is extending AFSPA every year when they keep on blaming the Congress party for bringing the act here in the state.
“Armed forces special Power act was implemented in the North East and Jammu and Kashmir because of various conflict related situations, but our government removed the disturbed area status from 7 assembly constituencies in view of the people sentiments,” Ibobi said.
On the other hand Okram Ibobi questioned the promises of the BJP regarding black money.
“Where are the black money which Prime minister Narendra Modi promised to bring back from abroad?” Ibobi asked. He further said that no Indian has ever received the Rs. 15 lakhs promise to their account.
He appealed the people not to trust the false rumours and propaganda of BJP.
MPCC president Gaikhangam also slammed the present BJP government saying that the present government is a government of illusion where the people were deceived by its false and empty promises.
He said that the BJP led government misused the power given by the people to rule and govern the state. He also said that the BJP government became the enemy of the state and added that if the government still continues then the state will be in total chaos.
He added that BJP is a dictatorial and totalitarian government and their government is only a government who heard the voice of only selected few.
He said that there isn’t any visible development and their only work is criticising the Congress.
He added that their only achievements for the government are the framework agreement, the hue and cry regarding the MU impasse and the contentious CAB.
He concluded that the people who want to implement contentious CAB should vote for BJP and if the people want to scrap it than they should vote for Congress.
