Imphal, December 10 (NNN): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday attacked the Congress saying the Northeast region has been kept isolated from the mainland India by this party thereby making the region underdeveloped.
“In the 60 years of Congress rule in India, we do not see development in the Northeast. There is no road connectivity in the region”, BJP vice president and former Rajya Sabha deputy chairperson Dr. Najma Heptulla told pressman at the Manipur State unit BJP office here. Dr. Heptulla arrived here today on a three-day visit.
She said the Government has done nothing for the youth of Manipur even as they have made the country proud, particularly in the field of sports. The BJP vice president categorically made assertion that some anti-BJP people are deliberately trying to spread propaganda against BJP for what they say an anti-Muslim party which is totally wrong and destructive.
“My forefathers were used to work with Congress party but I joined BJP as I like the way the party works for the public”, she added. Heptulla also earnestly appealed to the Muslim community of the State not to consider BJP an anti-Muslim party and said that they need to join and work with non-Congress parties for their betterment.
Buoyed by the joining of about 1,500 people from Thoubal district to BJP today, she expressed great hope for Oinam Indira Devi who is preparing to contest the forthcoming polls to the 10th Manipur Legislative Assembly in the Thoubal Assembly Constituency on the party ticket from where the present Chief Minster Okram Ibobi Singh won his seat.
