IMPHAL, October 7: The BJP Yuva Morcha, Manipur Pradesh will soon file a defamation suit against former Manipur BJP spokesperson Ch Bijoy for demanding party president Th Choaba to quit from his post within seven days on charges of corruption.
BJYM president O Malesh Singh informed media persons a day after the former BJP spokesperson Ch Bijoy charged BJP Manipur president Th Chaoba of being corrupt yesterday.
Malesh said the recent interest shown in the BJP, Manipur Pradesh, as evident from the many reports about the party daily, indicates a new popularity upsurge that the party is enjoying at the moment.
This also bespeaks of Chaoba`™s efforts to pursue things which were left unattended by previous leaders, he said.
He said Bijoy`™s demand for the party president`™s resignation on charges of being involved in the recent RIMS scandal is very much unfortunate and an act of irresponsibility.
During a press meet at the party`™s office today, Malesh said Bijoy is no longer a primary member of the party although he had served as a spokesperson of the BJP.
Bijoy had left the party after being denied renewal of his membership, Malesh added.
Such allegations are made by people who are jealous of the success Chaoba has achieved in bringing changes to the party, he said.
Ever since, Chaoba became the party president there have been a lot of positive changes, he said before adding that even the State Chief Minister mentions of only the BJP president and no other political leaders in his election speeches.
Although BJP enjoys not a single MLA in the State assembly, it has been acting as the main opposition whenever any issue creeps up in the State, he said before adding that it is possible only because of the leadership of Chaoba.
Chaoba during his tenure as the president of the party has never asked for any financial help from the party`™s central leaders, but the developments in infrastructure witnessed in the party`™s State office is because of his efforts, the BYJM president said.
It is very unfortunate that special correspondent of The Statesman Yambem Laba had used a fake receipt of Prime Minister Narendra Modi`™s first campaign in the State to level charges against Chaoba, he said.
He elaborated that preparation for the helipad was estimated at Rs 2 lakh but the money didn`™t come from Delhi or from the Narendra Modi, but it was from the party workers who had made contributions.
Laba in making the allegations seems to be influence by the Congress he continued and added that such baseless allegations cannot affect the president or the party.
There are many other scams in the State like the Loktak Lake scam, MGNREGS, construction of the City Convention which is yet to be completed, but none of these are reflected in the newspapers, he said before adding that this means Yambem Laba is pro-Congress.
Reacting to the Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh`™s statement that the construction of the Sports University was not because of the efforts of the BJP Manipur Pradesh, he said the Chief Minister needs to first remember the party`™s manifesto of the last Lok Sabha election.
Taking a dig at the ruling Congress, he asked what the party has done for the State in such a long time other than removing the Assam Rifles from Kangla Fort. This too, if we have look deeper, was only on account of the nude protest of Imas following the Manorama killing incident, he added.
