N Biren Singh had stated Manipur authorities would introduce IMFL outlets if BJP returns to energy
Guwahati:
Forward of the primary section of meeting elections in Manipur, the principle opposition get together, Congress, has closely criticised Chief Minister N Biren Singh on his controversial assertion of permitting Indian Made International Liquor (IMFL) outlets within the state if the BJP returned to energy. Manipur is a dry state.
“I’m deeply shocked and disgusted on the timing, method and nature of the Chief Minister’s announcement which is able to gravely menace the society in Manipur. This can be very disastrous when the state is dealing with a giant subject of drug menace. Furthermore, the state authorities continues to be unable to regulate the free movement of medicine from neighbouring Myanmar,” stated Congress’s Observer for Manipur, Jairam Ramesh.
Throughout a BJP political rally on Thursday in Imphal East, N Biren Singh had stated the state authorities would introduce IMFL outlets if the BJP returns to energy.
Mr Ramesh added that it’s unlucky that the Chief Minister is specializing in legalising liquor outlets as a substitute of specializing in pressing issues required to be taken up within the state corresponding to boosting Covid vaccination and fixing the problem of unemployment.
“The BJP is sitting within the departure lounge to take off from Manipur completely. Their exit from Manipur on March 10 is inevitable,” Mr Ramesh stated.
Manipur will vote in two phases on February 28 and March 5 and votes will probably be counted on March 10, together with Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa and Uttarakhand.
