Visiting BJP spokesperson tags state cabinet as `The cabinet` militant group

IMPHAL April 24: National spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party and also a Rajya Sabha MP Prakash Javadekar has today left no harsh words unsaid in describing the Congress led UPA government before referring the Manipur cabinet ministers as members of a new militant outfit.
Javedkar who is on a three day visit to the state arrived this afternoon and held a press conference at the main office of the BJP Manipur unit.
Addressing mediapersons at the press conference, the spokesperson stated that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been regarded as an economist and a clean politician earlier. However the PM has failed miserably to check inflation and the rampant corruption taking place in every nook and corner of the nation and has lost his reputation on both counts.
He also stated that even though the Prime Minister has repeatedly made the promise to curb price rise in the country during the last 24 months, the prices seem to be only going up instead of going down, which is a resounding failure on the part of the UPA government.
He voiced that Manipur is particularly affected by inflation evidently, as a litre of Kerosene costs at 100 Rupees. Inflation for the nation rose at 10 % and GDP at 9.5%, which shows that development, is eaten away by inflation.“ Of recent, the nation has witnessed the 2G ,CWG scams and many other ‘G’s’ may be happening, the PM is presiding the worst government the country has ever seen”, he said.
Also taking digs at the SPF government, Javedkar said that the rampant corruption which occurs in the state deserve recognition in the Guinness Book of World Records as “the most corrupted state”, for which the scam of the primary teachers and police recruitment recently bears testimony.
He maintained that law and order in the state have broken down completely and also voiced his amazement that a cabinet minister shot the advocate general and the matter ended quietly. A minister’s son shot a person in cold blood, if this is the state of affairs then the militants may regard the cabinet ministers of O Ibobi as members of a new militant outfit operating under the title ‘The Cabinet’,. The BJP demands an inquiry and high level intervention into the incident, he said.
Further, Javedekar confidently announced that the congress will lose in the recently concluded Assam elections, hence marking their downfall in the North East political scenario. The BJP will contest all seats for the upcoming IMC elections to address the lack of power, drinking water, deplorable road conditions, ineffective PDS distribution etc in the state which also points out the overall collapse of the present government.
Conclusively, the MP decried the ambush on MLA Wungnaoshang by the NSCN (IM) and stated that the NIA should initiate an inquiry into the matter. The incident shows that NSCN (IM) ceasefire issue needs to be addressed and the matter will be taken up at Parliament in the upcoming monsoon session, he concluded.
