J.P. Nadda National President of BJP who is in Imphal on a two-day visit to the poll-bound state echoed on Saturday that strikes, blockades, acts of terror and corruption were synonymous with Manipur before, but under the governance of the BJP, stability has been restored in the northeastern state.

He went on to claim that the BJP would return to power in the upcoming Assembly election which is scheduled early next year, as peace has been restored in Manipur under the BJP rule and the state is witnessing a growth curve that is providing the much-aspired stability.

Addressing a public event at the SAI ground in Utlou Nambol, Nadda stated that ” the policies of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government, Manipur has now become a key destination for sports. Two indigenous sporting events of Manipur were included in the Centre’s Khelo India scheme.”

 Taking a dig at the Congress leaders said that they have gone into isolation and reminded the crowd that, development was stopped during the Congress rule in Manipur.

The Northeast region is the gateway of development and without its development, India’s growth can not be possible, echoed Nadda.

 He also highlighted the various flagship schemes of the Centre and how the people of Manipur are getting benefits from these welfare schemes.

Remembering the freedom movement of India, Nadda said that Manipur was the gateway of India’s freedom struggle and that India’s tricolour was first hoisted here.

While the Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh also addressed the gathering and praised the efforts of the Prime Minister and other central leaders for undertaking ambitious development projects in Manipur.

It is pertinent that BJP is gearing up well in advance for the 2022 state election and the visit of the National President to the state capital also will raise the political temperature of the state with the race of securing party tickets and political manoeuvring will now start taking much momentum.
