Imphal (Manipur) [India], April 18 (HBTV): Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has said that the work needed to be done by the Centre to keep Manipur's territorial integrity intact has started, and to complete the process, people need to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Lok Sabha polls.   

‘Whatever Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the day before yesterday -- to keep Manipur's territorial integrity intact -- he used very meaningful words. An attempt was made to destroy Manipur by imbalancing (sic) its demography by infusing people from the outside,’ he said.               

‘The prime minister removed the FMR (Free Movement Regime) and took the decision on fencing. That is the point that the Manipur people want to hear from the central leaders,’ Singh said.  

"I think what is to be done by the Central government, under the leadership of PM Modi, has started, and to complete the ongoing process, people need to vote for the BJP candidate. I am requesting that people should vote for the BJP," Biren Singh added.  

Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's priority is to maintain peace in Manipur in the coming days. He criticized the Congress party for its alleged divisive politics, accusing it of not only dividing the country but also attempting to split it into North India and South India.          

Addressing a public rally in Manipur’s Imphal, Amit Shah said, ‘The most important thing is that no matter how much one tries - 'Hum Manipur ko tutne nahi denge' (We won’t allow Manipur to be broken up or divided). Congress has always given importance to the 'tukde tukde' gang (‘Small groups’). BJP has ended corruption in Manipur. In the coming days, PM Modi's priority is to maintain peace in Manipur.’
