IMPHAL: Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh has urged the people of the state to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections to strengthen ties with the Centre and garner support for Manipur.

Speaking at a welfare benefits distribution event organized by the Manipur Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (MBOCWWB), Singh emphasized the importance of aligning with the BJP to address Manipur's needs effectively.

“The current situation in Manipur necessitates support from the Centre. To safeguard and uplift Manipur, it is crucial to strengthen our relationship with the Central government,” Manipur CM Biren Singh said.

“Therefore, I urge everyone to vote for the BJP in the upcoming elections to strengthen our ties and secure support,” stated CM Biren Singh.

The Manipur chief minister further asserted, “With the BJP set to return to power at the Centre, it is imperative that we elect BJP MPs from Manipur to bolster the government led by Prime Minister Modi.”

Addressing concerns about his government's actions, Singh clarified, “Our administration has not targeted any particular community.”

“We have only taken measures against illegal drugs, poppy cultivation, deforestation, and individuals who have entered the state unlawfully,” the Manipur CM said.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, Manipur had two seats, with RK Ranjan Singh winning from Inner Manipur and Lorho S Pfoze from Outer Manipur.

As the parliamentary elections draw near, political parties in Manipur are intensifying their efforts and devising strategies to ensure victory for their candidates.
