Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president N Loken Singh has questioned the motive of the state BJP government for conducting recruitment of different posts in different departments when the election code of conduct is only a few months away.
He was speaking at the reception ceremony of newly joined members to Indian National Congress (INC) at Congress Bhavan on Wednesday.
The MPCC president questioned the BJP government as to what it had been doing for the past four years that the recruitment had to be conducted when the election is approaching. “The people of Manipur are aware of what the BJP and its coalition partners did in its four-years-and-eight-months governance in the state,” he added.
Loken said the BJP should remember that they should stop telling lies since democracy lies in the hands of the people.

Claiming that many leaders of the Congress have sacrificed their lives for the nation since the pre-independence period in the country, he questioned the people how many BJP leaders in the state and the country have sacrificed their lives for the country.
The distribution of food grains at a cheap price under NFSA and the MGNREGS for the welfare of the people was initiated during the Congress government, he added.
Loken further expressed confidence that there will be no BJP government in the state after the upcoming state assembly election. There will be no longer a Modi government after the Lok Sabha election in 2024, said Loken.
