The helicopter carrying Rajkumar Ranjan Singh, Union Minister of State for External Affairs and Education, was not allowed to land in the Noney district of Manipur on Saturday.
Mr. Singh had come to the district to attend an election meeting of Dipu Gangmei, who is contesting from the Noney constituency as the BJP candidate. It was to land at the Longmai ground. However, a large number of men and women, said to be supporters of Gaidon Kamei, Congress candidate of the assembly constituency, came out to the ground declaring that the helicopter could not land in the constituency.
