Guwahati: The National People’s Party (NPP) has filed a complaint against the BJP for the assault on Sanjoy Singh, the father of the party’s candidate in the Andro constituency.
Unidentified miscreants allegedly shot and injured the father of NPP candidate L Sanjoy Singh from Manipur’s Andro constituency on February 18.
In addition, at least six other individuals were injured, and six residences and five cars were extensively destroyed as a result of the violence.
According to the NPP’s allegation, NPP candidate Sanjoy Singh’s father was shot near his home in the constituency.
Meanwhile, Manipur’s chief minister N Biren Singh said that an investigation into the pre-election violence is underway.
The Manipur chief minister, on the other hand, has denied that any BJP member or leader was involved in the attack on the NPP candidate’s father.
MLAs from the opposition parties, according to Biren Singh, are misusing security personnel supplied to them.
Conrad Sangma, the chief minister of Meghalaya and the national president of the National People’s Party (NPP), has described the attack on the father of a party’s candidate in the upcoming Manipur Assembly elections as “politically motivated.”
The election commission has responded ‘positively’ to the NPP’s security concerns about its candidates in Manipur, according to Conrad Sangma.
“Miscreants have assaulted many NPP candidates and their relatives ahead of the Assembly elections in Manipur,” Conrad Sangma remarked.
“I informed the chief electoral officer of Manipur about the attack on our candidate’s father and a series of incidences that occurred around Manipur, generating significant concern for the safety of our candidates and the general public,” Conrad Sangma said.
“Rival candidates from various political parties are driving the attacks against NPP candidates,” he continued.
