Guwahati : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday assured that the economic blockades will be removed if Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will form the next government in Manipur.
While addressing an election campaign rally in Manipur's capital Imphal, Modi hit back the Congress and said that the Congress led state government will have to answer for all the sufferings of the people of Manipur due to three months long blockade.
Modi said that, Congress letting blockade continue for politics and the people of Manipur know these strategies of corrupt Congress and they will be punished.
Modi said that, BJP will form next government in Manipur and no blockade will be allowed in the state.
"Congress, that is in power for the last 15 years in Manipur, have not done anything to develop the state," Modi said.
Slamming the Congress party for 'ruining' Manipur, Modi said that if BJP will in power, do in 15 months what the Congress didn't in the state in last 15 years.
"BJP will bring all rounds of development in Manipur within 15 months," PM Modi said.
Terming Manipur as the Switzerland of East, Modi said that, the Congress party had looted the all development funds in the state in past one and half decade.
"The corruption that took place in Manipur in last 15 years will be exposed by our government. Manipur's unity, Manipur's development is our dream. Our government will never let insustice happen to anyone. Congress wants votes for 10% commission, but BJP wants votes for 100% development. Only state in India where CM is known by a number. Mr.10% (Manipur CM Okram Ibobi Singh) taking his commission for 15 years. Congress siphoned off money from Manipur to run its headquarters. No one can get jobs without bribes. Rates set for all jobs from Constable to even cook. This corruption will end under BJP government. Congress has destroyed the peaceful fabric of North East," Modi said.
PM Modi ensured in Delhi to employ youth from North East in police.
In the Naga framework issue Modi said that, not a single word in Naga Framework against the interests of Manipur but a person (Ibobi Singh) who is looted the state for 15 years now spreading lies.
"I have shared details of Framework Agreement with Congress. Shamelessly trying to play politics," Modi said.
The polls for the 60-member legislative assembly of the north eastern Indian state will be held on March 4 and 8 in two phases.
