Th Basanta Kumar Singh, Minister of Education and Inner Lok Sabha candidate –
Firstly, I extend a warm welcome and heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for joining me in this program. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve the people, first as an IPS officer, then as an MLA, and subsequently as a minister. I am deeply grateful for the blessings bestowed upon me by the Almighty and for the unwavering support of my party, which has entrusted me with the responsibility of serving our community.
As a committed karyakarta of the BJP, I wish to emphasize that our party has consistently stood by the people of Manipur, through both prosperous times and the current challenges of conflict and chaos. We take pride in our efforts to recognize and promote Manipuri culture and history, playing a pivotal role in shaping the lives of the people of Manipur for the better. Through initiatives such as the implementation of ILP, border fencing, and the abolishment of the Free Movement Regime, the BJP-led government under the leadership of PM Modi remains steadfastly dedicated to safeguarding the rights and preserving the unique cultural heritage of the indigenous people of our state.
Today, I stand before you with humility, seeking your blessings as I embark on a new journey – as a candidate for the office of MP representing the BJP. With your steadfast support, I am confident in our ability to emerge victorious in this election. If elected, I pledge to dedicate my energies towards amplifying your voices, addressing your concerns, and working tirelessly to foster peace and prosperity in our beloved ‘Ima Leibak.’
M Asnikumar Singh, Senior spokesperson and Chairman of Loktak Development Authority –
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone for joining me in this program, as we embark on a journey of love, respect, and dedication to elect Shri Th Basanta Singh to Parliament as a BJP candidate. With his extensive experience in serving the people of Manipur in various capacities, I firmly believe that there is no better candidate for the job than him. His unwavering dedication to the party and to the service of the people of Manipur serves as a true inspiration to me.
Our karyakartas serve the people with a profound sense of familial duty, and it’s imperative that we elect someone who sees every member of the public as an integral part of their own family, much like Shri Basanta. To Shri Basanta ji, the people of Manipur aren’t merely constituents; they’re cherished members of his extended family.
In contrast, the Congress party operates more like a family dynasty, capitalizing on the prevailing conditions of conflict. Despite decades in power, they failed to alter our state’s trajectory towards progress. Instead, we endured decades of harships, extrajudicial killings, corruption, and endless bandhs, leaving us lagging behind the rest of the nation. During the Congress regime, even Ima Loktak was not spared, becoming a mere pretext for their profiteering. Lies and propaganda seem to be the hallmark of the Congress party.
Under the BJP, we’ve become part of a larger family, focused on unlocking our potential and steering us towards growth. No longer isolated, we were warmly embraced by none other than PM Shri Narendra Modi himself, symbolized by his wearing of the Manipuri ‘Lengyan Phee.’ We’re now on the path to prosperity, despite recent challenges. With BJP’s vision and leadership, I firmly believe we’ll achieve lasting peace and prosperity for our state.
So, I earnestly urge everyone to cast their vote for Shri Th Basantakumar Singh. His steadfast dedication and tireless service to the people of our state have left lasting impacts. His commitment to enhancing our community and advocating for the needs of its citizens truly deserves your precious vote. With your support, I am confident that we will elect someone who not only feels like part of our family but will always stand by us.
