Imphal, Aug 05UNA: Constitution of Manipur Legislative Council (MLC) is needed in the state as the Assembly decision started lack maturity and no more in the interest of public said a regional political party, Manipur Peoples’ party (MPP) president, S Umananda.
Talking to UNA, S Umananda said that there are more then 10 tribes with less than 5000 population which will never have a chance to set up a representative for them in the assembly.
A political right of the small tribes is violated in the state so MLC constitution is needed as the small tribes can also enjoy there political rights said Umananda.
The party has form four committee for the hills area of the state which MPP has neglecting for a long time, without the hills area a regional party will be weak all the time, at the earliest a party branch office will be open in some of the hills district.
MPP has organised discussion in the past regarding the constitution of MLC in the state with intellectual, academician, advocates etc where most of them agreed.
Coming to another topic MPP president admit that the regional political party strength has becoming down falling even none of there candidate were elected in the last assembly election, but they are not discourage about this as they know there mistake.
From our past mistake we will make it correct, the party has started organising from the grass root level, our MLAs lack regionalism and try to be close with congress and even they seek congress ticket before the 10 assembly election.
Because of all this, public has lost their trust over MPP, this is one of the main factor that the party strength becoming weak.
For the next 2017 assembly election a loyalty person will be given ticket who want to serve for Manipur and the candidates will be of younger generation added Umananda.
Talks are going on for all non-congress political parties of the state to join hand together in fighting against the congress and a possibility is there said MPP president.
