Imphal, May 7: With Imphal Municipality Election coming up shortly, the BJP Manipur Pradesh has set its agenda for this upcoming election in two main specific areas. Convenor of the State Election Management Committee Th. Chaoba today said that improvement in the law and order situation of the state as well as fight against corruption will be the agenda of the BJP Manipur Pradesh for the upcoming IMC election scheduled on June 2. However the former President did not spelled out the mechanism to root out corruption from the state.
Speaking to the media person Th Chaoba said that Modi led NDA government has been giving top priority on the core issues of law and order and fight against corruption to bring a social change in the society.
“In this upcoming IMC election, the BJP Manipur Pradesh will follow the path of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as it is the only means to develop the state”, Chaoba said.
He further added that BJP will field candidates in all 27 wards of IMC wards among which number of women candidates will be not less than 15.
“BJP’s another priority is empowerment of women and so the party decided to field more women candidates in this election”, Chaoba added.
Till now 59 candidates have taken application form to apply ticket among them 20 have submitted so far, Chaoba added.
He said code of conduct for the upcoming election should be enforced on the day the state government gives approval for conduct of the election.
“Even after knowing this the state government has not done anything to enforce the code of conduct”, Chaoba said indicating foul play to the part of the state government.
“Instead the state government has announced for the recruitment of teacher, launched National food security act and recruited Panchayat secretary even after the date for election has been announced”, Chaoba said.
The attitude is a clear example to show that the government is more like a dictator.
As according to a office memorandum to the State Election Commission by Secretary MAHUD Public notice of the IMC election will be announced on 12 of this month, last date of filling nominations will be on May 17 and election will held on June 2.
While replying to the media person about the BJP stand on the implementation of ILPS in Manipur Th Chaoba said that BJP Manipur Pradesh had been a supporter of the issue from the beginning and will also continue to support.
He further added that as BJP was not a party to the drafting committee of the three Bills the state government should be held responsible to any unwanted development.
Chaoba was giving clean chit to the ball throw by Congress party which said that BJP is the one which can give pressure to the president for giving consent to the act.
He further said that the 2 BJP MLAs will support to the government move if it is for implementation of ILPS in the state. Regarding the removal of outsider from voter list Chaoba said that removing of outsider’s voter list could only be done through law court.
