Amidst the ongoing nationwide campaign launched by the Congress against the BJP’s alleged misuse of power through vote manipulation, the Block Congress Committee, Kakching, organized a signature campaign on Saturday at Kakching Assembly Constituency under the slogan “Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod” (Thieves of Votes, Vacate the Chair).
Taking part in today’s campaign were Secretary of MPCC Kshetrimayum Kennedy, President of District Congress Committee Kakching A. Rahaman Chesaba, President of Block Congress Committee Kakching N. Ashok, Vice President BCCK Md. Gayajuddin, Advisory Committee Member Sh. Lekhachandra, President of District Mahila Congress Committee M. Inakkhunbi, and Caretaker Councillor of Ward No. 1 Mayanglambam Memcha, along with other leaders.
Speaking on the occasion, MPCC Secretary Kshetrimayum Kennedy asserted that India is currently passing through a critical phase for democracy. He stated that the ruling BJP has been undermining people’s voting rights and weakening democratic values. He further said that Rahul Gandhi, who is not only a youth leader of the Indian National Congress but also the Leader of Opposition, has strongly voiced against the BJP and the Election Commission of India for engaging in unconstitutional practices.
He added that this campaign is part of the ongoing nationwide movement launched with five major demands to safeguard democracy and protect people’s rights.
The signature campaign at Kakching saw active participation from Kakching Municipal Council’s caretaker councillors, Block Congress Committee workers, polling agents, and several sympathizers of the party.
