Imphal, May 26: Locals of Nambol Assembly Constituency expressed displeasure over the partial attitude of N Loken Singh, MLA of Nambol A/C for selectively distributing rations only to Congress workers and supporters of the area.
Speaking to Imphal Times over phone, Herojit Longjam who is the General Secretary of Young Guidance Club said that many families were affected in the recent flood in the area and a relief camp is being opened for the affected villagers at Nambol Phoijing Makha Leikai (Ward No 6/1 of Nambol Municipal Council). Rations are distributed from the side of the MLA, however many of the people were sent back empty handed stating that the ration is exclusively for Congress workers.
When enquired, the people who are in-charge of the ration distribution informed that the MLA strictly instructed them to provide free rations to those who voted for him, Herojit said.
N Loken is MLA of Nambol Assembly Constituency and not for the few who voted for him and all the affected people who are taking shelter at the relief camp have to get equal share of their rations, he deplored.
Stating that the people of the area have never expected such a biased attitude from the local MLA, the Secretary also appealed the MLA not to discriminate the mass and play with the sentiments of the people.
