Imphal, Jan 19: Rajya Sabha MP Hema Malini Thursday appealed to the ‘anti-social elements’ spreading violence in Manipur to join the BJP which can help in finding ways to solve their problems through discussion.
Hema Malini, who travelled to Manipur on a one-day visit, addressed five election rallies in different assembly constituencies of the poll-bound Manipur, including Thoubal district, a stronghold of Chief Minister Okram Ibobi heading a Congress-led government.
Addressing the gathering, she said that there was no change in the state. She had come to Imphal ten years back. There is no change . The people of the state desire change. In fact, Manipur is backward as compared with other states of the Country like Gujarat, Jharkhand where there are BJP government.s The present govt. neglects the state for the last many years.There will be a change if there is a govt. led by BJP. Every body is speaking that there will be a BJP govt. at the centre at 2014. She appealed the gathering to support the BJP Candidate at the ensuing tenth assembly election. Dr. N. Nando spoke at the gathering. She also spoke at Public rallies held today at Keirao Langdum, Thoubal Ningombam and Dharmasala, Thangal Bazar.
Hema Malini who is also national BJP vice president while addressing the rallies in various venues today accused the Congress-led Secular Progressive Front (SPF) government of Manipur as well as the UPA at the Centre of not providing the ‘basic needs’ of the people of the State like electricity, water and road.
She said10 years ago, she came here for a performance and that she did not see much change in the State even after a decade, adding that in BJP- ruled States like Gujarat, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, a lot of changes have been brought about by their governments.
Taking a dig on the Congress led Government, Hema Malini said the menace of unemployment, poverty and lack of a good education system in the State is still persisting because the Government has failed to take up adequate measures to tackle them.
The State of Manipur has its own vast natural beauties that can be made into a ‘big tourism spot’ which in turn can bring huge income to the State, the MP suggested and questioned why the Manipur Government is not taking up such plan.
The Assembly Constituencies where she addressed were Wangkhei, Keirao, Thoubal, Uripok and Thangmeiband.
Hema Malini left the State, which will go on poll on January 28, around 3 pm.
