All problems in North East created by Congress: Rijiju

By Newmai News

IMPHAL, March 1 - Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju has alleged, �all problems in the Northeastern region are created by Congress. We need to defeat the party in this crucial election. In the past 17 years the number of militant organisations have increased manifold because of Congress rule in the region,� Rijiju further alleged.

Speaking at a function for BJP candidate SS Olis at her residence in Chandel constituency of Chandel district in Manipur on Monday, Rijiju also assured that the Centre will bring development for the NE, particularly Manipur.

�The Centre understands all problems facing the region and it is keen on bringing development. As a Minister, I will take up various developmental policies for the North East, particularly Manipur, he promised.

Saying that the ensuing Manipur Assembly election will be a historic one for all, the Union Minister stressed on the need to fight against the Congress and defeat the party in the polls.

Senior leaders of different political parties and Union Ministers of the BJP Government at the Centre are now campaigning for their parties in the poll-bound Manipur as the poll date for the first phase is fast approaching.

Naga problem: During his visit to Tului village in Ukhrul district, Rijiju addressed a public gathering to garner support for Chingai constituency�s BJP candidate Sword Vashum.

Driving home the point that BJP is the only panacea for all the ills in the NE, Rijiju stated that BJP is so far the only party in India that has understood the political issues and unique identity of the Nagas and hence, a peace process was duly initiated by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 1997.

He called upon all armed outfits in the region to keep themselves from any disruptive activities against the BJP in the election, adding that any such operation will be akin to closing door on themselves and their future.

Conveying that PM Modi has assured to solve all problems and bring about inclusive growth in the region, Rijiju informed that the party has charted out a roadmap for progress. He also assured that his party was committed to solving the Naga political issue at the earliest.
