BJP Will Win Both Lok Sabha Seats From Manipur In Upcoming General Elections
The Chief Minister called upon party workers to get ready for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and focus on increasing organisational strength across the region.
While addressing a ‘vistarak’ meet of the region, the Chief Minister said, “People are asking how will the BJP fare in Manipur. I want to tell them that we will win both Lok Sabha seats from the state. Though there are clashes now, when it comes to making Modi the Prime Minister for the third term, the entire Northeast will be united.”
“Due to development work undertaken by Modi government, prices of essential commodities in Manipur have not increased as much as compared to 2012, when the state had witnessed prolonged national highway blockades by different organisations over various demands. The supply line to the (Imphal) valley has been kept clear,” Sarma added.
