Imphal, November 12:
Everybody loves a winner and this also holds true in politics.
Being the Chief Minister, and the first one set to complete a term in the hot chair, Mr Okram Ibobi Singh is perceived to be a winner by the people of Thoubal district, so much so that the people of Thoubal Assembly Constituency have urged him to contest the election from their constituency, instead of Khangabok, his present AC.
According to an inside source, though the Chief Minister has been urged to represent Thoubal AC, he has not given any commitment.
Incidentally, L Tomba of the FPM is the present MLA of Thoubal Assembly Constituency.
In line with the new development, a local Congress worker urged the Chief Minister to promise what the people of Thoubal AC want during the inaugural function of a community hall at Thoubal Leishangthem today.
The Chief Minister deftly stepped aside the point and explained that he has never ever given any hundred percent assurance on any issue.
For good effects, Ibobi said, �If I say let's see then it can be taken that it is 90 pc assured�.
Ibobi was however every clear that the Congress will field a candidate in Thoubal AC and urged the gathering to support the Congress nominee.
