Ditching Cong, embracing BJP Not seen as party hopping

In deciding to leave the Congress and join the BJP, Y Erabot, the political strong man from Wangkhei Assembly Constituency has rung out a very important message. The Congress should take note of this. It is not only about an individual leaving the party, but is a reflection of where the BJP stands and this certainly cannot be comfortable for the Congress. A situation unthinkable prior to 2014, but after the BJP routed the Congress in the Lok Sabha polls more than two years back, it has been going from strength to strength and this is also being felt in the political firmament of the State. From no MLA in the 2012 Assembly election, the BJP today has two MLAs who stormed the by election at Thangmeiband AC and Thongju AC. Not without reason that many interpreted the results of the by elections in the two Assembly Constituencies as something more than the loss of the Congress candidates but also the loss of the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister. Just recall how the two leaders of the Congress Government went all the way while campaigning for the Congress candidates in the two ACs. Now comes the decision of Y Erabot to shift allegiance to the BJP and things certainly cannot be comfortable for the Congress.

Police and security forces are the most ubiquitous and visible agents of the State in our country. The same is true of Manipur where we see greenery (SFs) and khaki (Police) everywhere. At the same time, the role and responsibilities of the security forces are quite challenging in this multi-ethnic, conflict-ridden and limited resource state. Despite the 24 x 7 service rendered by the security forces,

Attacking Rajiv Gandhi’s ideas is a sign of a worried Modi regime

In the end of August of this year, 2016, Modi government, in New Delhi, put a ban on the organization – IRF (Islamic Research Foundation) – of Zakir Naik. Before this year’s August, Zakir Naik’s IRF was not banned by Modi government which came to power since May mid, 2014. Much before 2014, in the year of 2011 RGCT (Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust) received an amount of 50 (fifty) lakhs rupees from IRF. In the year 2011, IRF was not a banned NGO. So, Modi government did not stop IRF from propagating its ideas, as the government did not put a ban, then, for 2 years, which were from the mid 2014 to August of 2016. Modi woke up in the end of this August 2016 after Bangladesh demanded to know more about the details of Zakir Naik’s operations from India in the mid of August.
