IMPHAL, May 17: Buoyed by the its commendable achievement in winning both the Lok Sabha seats besides already having an MP in the Rajya Sabha, the MPCC has written to AICC president Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Dr Manmo-han Singh to allot a berth of Union Cabinet Minister to one of the three Congress MPs from Manipur.
Speaking at a felicitation function organised in hon-our of Dr T Meinya and Thangso Baite at Congress Bhavan today, veteran Congress leader Rishang Keishing remarked that vic-tory of Congress candida- tes in both the Lok Sabha seats was an invaluable gift from the people to the State Government.
Stating that the party has now three MPs in the Par-liament, Rishang called upon the elected MPs to work sincerely for the wel-fare of the people in coordi- nation with the State Go-vernment.
The felicitation function was also attended by MPCC president Gaikha-ngam, Chief Minister O Ibobi, Speaker Dr S Budhi-chandra, CLP leaders and party workers.
The victorious candida-tes were garlanded and feli- citated with gifts.
The historic achieve-ment of the Congress party in winning both the Lok Sa-bha seats for the first time was a clear demonstration of people’s faith in the secular outlook of Congress.
Noting that the Cong-ress party needs to work sincerely with dedication not to lose people’s confi-dence, Rishang Keishing called upon the party lea-ders and workers not to be complacent and forget their responsibilities while cele-brating the victory.
MPCC president Gaikha-ngam noted that the peo- ple’s mandate given to the two Congress candidates was a reflection of people’s desire for unity, integrity and peace.
He appealed to the three party MPs to shoulder grea-ter responsibility in facilita- ting effective coordination between the State Govern-ment and the upcoming Congress Government at the Centre so that the State can make greater strides to-wards development.
Chief Minister cau-tioned that the party’s fate in the next elections would be unpredictable if the party cannot deliver what the people desire.
If the numerous sche-mes, projects and missions launched by the UPA Gov-ernment for poorer sections of the society are implemen-ted in time with dedication, a positive change can be ex-pected before long.
It would do a great deal to the people of Manipur if the MPs press for the deve-lopment projects proposed by the State Government which have not been appro-ved by the Centre, Ibobi confided.
Conceding that he was wrong in his pre-poll claim that the Congress candi-dates would win both the seats at margins of 50,000 to 100,000 votes as the predic-ted margin could not be reached in one of the seats, Ibobi lauded the party wor-kers who went ahead against all odds and threats. He also conveyed gratitude to all the people who voted for Congress.
The victory of Congress candidates over rival candi-dates with huge margins testified that the people could not be cowed down by violence and treats and that they did not have faith in political parties without distinct principles, asserted Minister Phungzathang Tonsing.
Newly elected MPs, Dr T Meinya and Thangso, con-veyed their gratitude to the people of Manipur for elec-ting them. They pledged that they would put in their efforts to solve the outs-tanding issues of the State including law and order be-sides working in close cooperation with the State Government to usher in development in Manipur.
After the meeting, the two MPs left for New Delhi.
