Does Manipur Need A 10% Chief Minister, Asks PM Modi

A train crash that killed 148 people may have been caused deliberately as part of a “conspiracy” hatched in Pakistan, India’s prime minister said Friday, as he campaigned for a key state election. “Have you heard about a 10 per cent CM anywhere in the country?”

The chief minister also appealed to all the armed groups operating across the state to realize that ‘we’re all sons of the soil and we’ll have to die here. “You have to decide”.

Speaking at the Gonda rally, Modi also accused the Akhilesh Yadav-led-SP government of protecting and patronising the “copying mafia” in the state which, he said, was harming the future of the youth. They made brothers fight against each other.

Accusing the Congress government in Manipur of involvement in deep-rooted corruption, Union minister and BJP leader Prakash Javadekar said if elected to power his party would send state chief minister Ibobi Singh to jail. He asked the PM to disclose the names of the Congress leaders with whom the discussions were done. Do they deserve to be here now?

“Rest assured that I will take back the looted money”.

At the rally of PM Narendra Modi in Imphal on Saturday.

We are giving impetus to infrastructure development in Manipur. Another regional parties like Irom Sharmila’s newly formed PRJA has named 6 candidates, Naga People’s Front-16 candidates, People’s Democratic Alliance (PDA) has only 1 while 23 candidates will be contesting as independent candidates. Was Congress asleep that time? And, now they are spreading lies.

Since last 40 years no PM of the country came to North-East for NEC Meeting.

Mr. Modi’s assurance follows Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh’s statement, asking why the precise terms of the agreement have been kept “secret” by the Centre.

For the past 67 years since Manipur has been allegedly annexed in the Indian Union, people of Manipur have been reeling under all kinds of repressive measures.

The Prime Minister said the BJP has a soft corner for the people of the Northeast and added that apart from creating a separate ministry for the region, all ministries were also directed to spend money for the development of the region.
