Imphal, November 24 2009:
Ward No 22 Development Committee, Wangkhei Assembly Constituency has accused FCS Minister and MLA of Wangkhei A/C of forfeiting rights of the people belonging to the ward.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, convenor of the committee Haji Arafat Ali alleged that people of Ward No 22 have been suffering under the apathy of MLA Y Erabot since 10 years back.
PDS items meant for around 2000 people of the ward have been forfeited by some individuals hand-picked by the MLA who is also FCS Minister.
In addition, the Minister has usurped the power of the Ward's councillor, he alleged.
Because of these reasons, Hatta Golapati which is largely inhabited by Muslims remains quite backward in all aspects even though the area is within Imphal Municipal Council, Arafat Ali decried.
Asserting that the MLA has turned his back to the people after winning election, the committee strongly condemned the attitude of the MLA.
The committee has even decided to boycott the MLA in the next election, Arafat Ali said.
The present was also attended by functionaries of the United Clubs Organisation, Golapati Hafiz Hatta, Ideal Development Organisation and MGHU.
