Imphal, Feb 20: National People’s Party (NPP) national president and Meghalaya chief minister Conrad K Sangma on Sunday said his party will fight against the BJP candidates and will become the single largest party to lead the new government in Manipur, which is going to two-phase polls on February 28 and March 5 for the Manipur Legislative Assembly.
Addressing an election campaign to drum up support for the NPP candidates, Sangma said this election is very different from the past elections as the people of Manipur are tired of all the national parties.
As a secular party from the NE, NPP is unbiased & promises to uphold the diversity of Manipur. By voting for NPP & our candidate, Sheikh Noorul Hassan of 4-Kshetrigao, we can choose a different future for Manipur. Change starts here. Vote for NPP! pic.twitter.com/GJTpzrd7Ux

“That is why the people of Manipur in this election are looking towards the NPP to be the single largest party, form the government and lead the state of Manipur and this will happen this time,” he said.
He said that he had been to many constituencies in Manipur and have never seen this kind of response where the people are coming out in thousands.
Sangma said that Andro candidate L Sanjoy Singh was telling him that this meeting was organized in a short notice as the main programme is on Monday.

“But even in short notice, look at the number of people that have come here, because they love and support him and that is the love which will make sure he will win this election,” he expressed.
Informing about their visit to the hospital where Sanjoy’s father was admitted after he was shot during an election campaign on Friday night, the NPP chief said, “We told him that all the people of Andro constituency are with you. No matter how much fear the opposition will try to bring, our people will not be scared, we will fight the BJP, we will fight their candidates.”
Reiterating that the NPP will be the single largest party in Manipur, Sangma said the reason why people have started accepting the NPP is because the party has got its roots in the state of Manipur and the North East region.
“We are the only political party in the country today that was born in the North East and is made in the North East and today is fighting for the North East and that is the reason why the people of the North East and Manipur have started accepting our party and that is why our party is growing in North East and Manipur,” he said.
He further stated that the NPP is a party that believes in the youth.

“We are a party that believes that the youth of the North East can compete with anybody in the rest of the country also. We believe that the people of the North East can also excel in every field which other parts are excelling in,” Sangma asserted.
