IMPHAL: A day ahead of the second phase of
Manipur assembly polls, members of the Congress-led Manipur Progressive Secular Alliance on Friday staged a silent “blind-fold” rally in Imphal, charging the ruling
BJP with suppressing democracy to grab power.
Leaders of the alliance categorically appealed to the people to vote freely without fear during Saturday’s polls. With the key target to defeat BJP in the polls, the alliance was formed last month by a band of six “like-minded” parties —
Congress, CPI, CPM, RSP, JD-S and Forward Bloc.
The protest came a day after the Congress charged BJP-led state government with releasing over Rs 16 crore to Kuki militant groups under the Suspension of Operation (SoO) to influence voting for BJP candidates.
The rally was headed by AICC leader and in-charge of
Manipur Bhakta Charan Das
, Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president and senior legislator N Loken Singh and CPI strongman and former minister
Moirangthem Nara
Singh.
