Lamka, April 03 2009:
After Rahul Gandhi had pulled a huge crowd in yesterday's election rally at Tuibuong ground here, now NCP has decided to counter Gandhi scion's campaign by fielding party secretary general PA Sangma for his party's Outer Manipur candidate LB Sona.
Confirming the date for Sangma's visit LB Sona today said, "Sangma is expected to arrive here before 12 noon on April 7 to address a rally of the NCP at Lamka Public ground".
Interacting with The Sangai Express on the sidelines of formal launch of his election campaign at its office here today, Sona claimed that his prospect of wining the Outer seat is growing by the day.
"Our efforts will definitely be getting a better crowd," he added, apparently in reference to Rahul's rally.
With a mere 13 days left for campaigning, Sona in his address to party workers exhorted for a concerted effort to make their cause reach every household within the constituency.
