IMPHAL, June 14: The present day rule of the Secular Progressive Front government could be termed as a Golden era as the opposition political parties in the state have not only failed to bring up their voice against the Secular Progressive Front rule, but have also failed miserably during the state elections, which is because the opposition is very much aware of the various development works of the government and its performance during its rule in the state.

This was stated by Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee president Gaikhangam during a reception ceremony of the newly elected Imphal Municipal Council chairman, vice chairman and the councilors of the Congress held this evening at the Congress Bhawan at around 4 pm.

Meanwhile during the reception ceremony of the new chairman of the IMC, Gaikhangam further thanked the public of the Imphal Municipality are for supporting his party candidates which enabled the party to gain absolute majority in the just concluded IMC elections winning 16 seats out of the 27 seats available.

He further maintained that the support of the general public is evident of the popularity of the party and that it is very much evident that the Congress party will get absolute majority in the coming general election which is scheduled for next year.

He further mocked the opposition parties of the state, as most opposition candidates were unable to win in the elections; however he added that the opposition candidates are doing better when compared to the opposition parties.

The MPCC president further provided his assurance that the new IMC chairman will be different from the previous ones and will work better for the Imphal Municipal areas.
