BJP, if elected, will end blockade in Manipur says PM Modi at rally
PM Narendra Modi addressed an election rally in Imphal on Saturday for the upcoming Assembly Election, which is scheduled to take place in two phases, on March 4 and 8, 2017.
At the rally, Modi said that the Congress led state government will have to answer for all the sufferings of the people of Manipur due to the three month long blockade.
Modi said that Congress let the blockade continue for political reasons and the people of Manipur know these strategies of corrupt Congress and they will be punished.
Modi said that, BJP will form the next government in Manipur and no blockade will be allowed in the state.
"Congress, that is in power for the last 15 years in Manipur, has not done anything to develop the state," Modi said.
Slamming the Congress party for 'ruining' Manipur, Modi said that if BJP is voted to power, his party will do in 15 months what the Congress didn't in the last 15 years.
"BJP will bring all rounds of development in Manipur within 15 months," PM Modi said.
Terming Manipur as the Switzerland of East, Modi said that the Congress party looted the all development funds in the state in the past one and half decade.
"The corruption that took place in Manipur in last 15 years will be exposed by our government. Manipur's unity, Manipur's development is our dream. Our government will never let injustice happen to anyone. Congress wants votes for 10% commission, but BJP wants votes for 100% development. Only state in India where CM is known by a number. Mr.10% [Manipur CM Okram Ibobi Singh] taking his commission for 15 years. Congress siphoned off money from Manipur to run its headquarters. No one can get jobs without bribes. Rates set for all jobs from constables to cooks. This corruption will end under BJP government. Congress has destroyed the peaceful fabric of North East," Modi said.
Regarding the Naga framework issue, Modi said, "I have shared details of Framework Agreement with Congress. Thye are shamelessly trying to play politics."
