Imphal, April 03 2009: Th Chaoba of Manipur Democratic Alliance (MDA), comprising of the MPP, NCP, MSCP and NPP, is being fielded in the Inner Manipur Parliamentary constituency on a mission based on five points by the alliance, said O Joy of MPP.

MLA Joy was speaking at the elections of campaigns of Th Chaoba held at Laipham Khunou Makha Leikai under Heingang A/C and Kwakeithel Thounaojam Leikai under Keishamthong A/C today.

Joy said that the people should adopt a collective stand not to elect Congress or CPI candidates in the Lok Sabha elections.

Reacting to CPI dubbing MPP as 'paper tiger', Joy compared CPI to a dog's tail.

It was during the tenure of Parijat as Agriculture Minister that he went scrambling for fertilizer and that MLAs were sent to jostle for fertilizer besides the seizure of a huge quantity of fertilizer by Army enroute to Moreh, Joy asserted.

Expressing surprise over the assurance of Rahul Gandhi that the territorial integrity of Manipur would not be compromised, the veteran MPP leader claimed that it was MPP that persuaded the State Legislative Assembly to take a resolution against the election manifesto of the Congress party published during the time of Assembly elections in Nagaland which endorsed unification of Naga inhabited areas.

People should decide on the contrasting statements made by Congress leaders while speaking in Manipur that the territorial integrity of Manipur would be safeguarded and that Naga inhabited areas should be unified while speaking in the neighbouring State, Joy said.

MLA Ng Bijoy spoke on the efforts of Th Chaoba during his stint as Union Minister to develop NH 150 in Manipur, establish gas bottling plant, opening of SAI centre, establishment of Special Area Games centre, opening of Sports Academy having 19 streams, establishment of food park and towards extension of railway to Manipur.
