It is reported that heated exchanges took place with minor scuffles between supporters of NPP and BJP on Saturday night at Singjamei concerning the installing of political party flags in some areas of Singjamei assembly constituency. 

NPP Manipur working president L Jayantakumar said that in order to bring real development in the region, there is a need to have a strong political party based in the Northeast. And in this case, the NPP is the party, he added. 

The other national political parties lack focus in the Northeast and therefore, the Northeast states are still lagging behind in terms of development till today, Jayantakumar pointed out.

He further said that the present sitting MLA of Singjamei assembly constituency never raises his voice for the people of the assembly constituency in the Assembly.

Urging the public to choose their representative wisely, he appealed to the people of Singjamei assembly constituency to cast their valuable votes to the NPP intending candidate Oinam Romen to bring a better development in Singjamei assembly constituency. 

The function was also attended by NPP intending candidate of Singjamei assembly constituency Oinam Romen and intending candidate of Kshetrigao assembly constituency Sheikh Noorul Hassan
