IMPHAL: Kicking off BJP’s election campaign for next year’s assembly polls in Manipur, party President Amit Shah said on Wednesday that the ‘corrupt’ Congress government was bound to be ousted in the state.
Addressing a meeting at Hafta Kangjeibung here, Shah said, “The non-performing and corrupt Congress government has to go. From the huge gathering here, I am confident there will be a BJP government in the state.”
Shah was accompanied by HRD minister Prakash Javedkar and Assam finance minister Himanta Bishwa Sarma.
Asserting that the state government failed to carry out any development despite getting the required funds, Shah said “The CAG has established that the Manipur government cannot produce utilisation certificate for `5,000 crore. As and when people start asking questions about this looted amount, the Congress shall not be able to face even the elections.”
Shah said PM Narendra Modi had said even before taking office, that the northeast should get special attention. “Modi’s directive is that a central minister should visit the northeast region every 15 days to ensure speedy development.”
