Imphal, Jan 4:
President of the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee, N. Loken today hits hard on BJP saying that they will not able to win even 15 seats in the upcoming state assembly election.
“I challenge if the BJP can tell any seat that they will win in 10 assembly constituencies of Thoubal and Kakching districts”, Loken said to media persons at Congress Bhavan in Imphal today. He said that the BJP had speculated the number of seats to cross 40 during the poll campaign but there is no chance for the BJP to win at even 15 seats in the upcoming election. The MPCC President is confident that the BJP has no chance of winning at any of the seats at Ukhrul district, Senapati, and Tamenglong district. He also said that at Churachandpur district too, of the 6 constituencies the BJP may hardly come back at one or two assembly constituencies, the MPCC president said. Regarding the 40 assembly seats in valley districts, Loken said that the BJP may win at not more than 9 seats.
At a time when the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi was inaugurating 13 projects that is worth Rs. 1850 crore and laying the foundation stone for 9 new projects worth Rs. 2950 crore at Hatta Kangjeibung here in Imphal, the MPCC president questions the developmental works taken up by the BJP government during the 4 and half years tenure.
“Those projects inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India today are all taken up during the Congress government and were almost completed before the last Assembly election. However, due to blockade called by some people or organizations over the creation of 7 more districts in the state, the than Congress government could not inaugurate it on time”, Loken said. He further said the BJP led government took 4 and half years to inaugurate projects that were nearly completed during congress’s government.
Loken further took at the central government under the BJP saying that no people-oriented programmes were taken up by the BJP during their 7 and half years tenure. It was during the Congress-led Government led by the then Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh that 100 days jobs to each of the BPL families were provided by passing the MGNREGA. He also said that it was during the UPA that the Right to Education Act was passed to ensure free and compulsory education to all the children upto class VIII and also various schemes to ensure food to all the citizens living below the poverty line. Loken also asked if the present BJP led government can show any one of the houses built under any government scheme and not from the pocket of the MLAs in Rural areas of the state.
In connection with the media critics over the silence of the opposition party, N. Loken said that the voice of the people have not listened and the suggestion from the opposition party are taken to the left ear and thrown at the right ear. It is useless arguing with them but it is better to throw away the BJP from power in the upcoming state Assembly election.
