The Janata Dal-United party candidate for Churachandpur Assembly constituency, Lallianmang Khaute on Friday organised a flag hoisting cum office inauguration programme at his residence located at Thangzam Road, Churachandpur district in the presence of JD-U national general secretary and in charge of Northeast Region Afaque Ahmed Khan.
The event was attended by the chairman of the core committee for the Manipur Assembly Election 2022 Senchimo Lotha; president of JD-U state unit Hangkhanpau Taithul; president of different tribes under Zomi Council led by its president John K Ngaihte, chief of village and others.
Afaque Ahmed Khan said that JD-U believes in development and justice, and they have MLAs in Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh state. It is time for Manipur to act, he said, promising that they will make sure the map of Churachandpur district holds a prominent place in Delhi, if given the mandate, through their leader Nitish Kumar whom he said does not need introductions.
While announcing the weaker sections like women are their priority all over India, he further assured that the JD-U candidate from Churachandpur Assembly constituency will get a ministerial berth, if elected, as they are alliance partners at the Central government.
“The acceptance of the party had been soaring recently as shown by the decision of four sitting MLAs of Manipur Assembly constituency taking the party ticket, including the joining of the former chief secretary of Manipur O Nabakishore and now, the longest servings DGP of Manipur LM Khaute who all are convinced by the party’s belief in secularism that is through deeds and not words,” he said.
LM Khaute in his speech said that he was impressed by the response he received from the people and thanked the leaders who had come. He highlighted his intentions to make numerous welfare schemes of the government accessible to the common man, drinking Water for all, reforming the education sector, setting up a grievance cell, promoting sports, availability of equipment in health, empowerment of weaker sections of the society and others.
After the scrutiny of candidates was carried out, it emerged that there will be seven candidates who will contest in six different party tickets with one contesting as an independent candidate in Churachandpur Assembly constituency.
