He said, the party welcomes all the good works done by other political parties in the state, but they will not remain silent if any of them indulges in such works which would hurt the sentiments of the people.

People of the state are living in a pitiful state where prices of essential commodities are skyrocketed, riddled with corruption and development works not suited with the fund invested for the works, he added.

"Vote for money" has been a culture of the people.

So far money is expended in election, development will delay.

SPF government is no more people's government is well known by the party.

MPP will effort its best to install an alternative government in the state, he assured.

If MPP was not, the different communities settling in the state might have vanished.

Joining the party those who work for own benefit will be hard task.

For joining the party, one should be honest and enable to scarify for the people.

The party is not among the parties who perform works under the Delhi high commands, he added.

Reacting to the criticism that no opposition party in the state, O Joy said, it's is the saying of ignorance people.

In the six session of the ninth Assembly, MPP had given good performance as opposition.

Members of MPP in the Assembly are taking active roles of being opposition in the house.
