Leaders lining up to join Congress in Manipur, says O Ibobi Singh

Imphal: The Manipur Congress on Thursday claimed that a number of "prominent political leaders" are queuing to join the grand old party in a phased manner and people are starting to believe in it.
Speaking at the felicitation of nine newly joined members, Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader O Ibobi Singh said, “The unfortunate ethnic crisis in the state has not occurred anywhere else in the country except for Manipur.”
“If there is a problem or an issue, there must be a solution. And in such cases, the Centre needs to provide assistance to reach such a solution,” the former chief minister (CM) of the state said. Meanwhile, the nine individuals who joined the Congress on Thursday included former health minister under Chief Minister N Biren Singh's 2017 cabinet L Jayantakumar Singh and former National People's Party candidate O Romen.
