The Congress on Tuesday picked holes in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech at an election rally in Imphal, alleging that many of his claims were blatantly false. This was Mr. Modi’s first election address in Manipur, which will vote in two phases on February 28 and March 5.
Mr. Modi had claimed that the BJP's double–engine government has laid a strong foundation for Manipur for the next 25 years.
Countering this, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, who is also party‘s election observer for the State, tweeted, “The truth is the people of Manipur are fed up with the double–engine haijinbi govt. of BJP in Delhi and Imphal. The mood of Manipur is clear. Come 10th March, it will be Bye-Bye, BJP!” ‘Haijinbi” stands for false promises in Manipuri.
