      Congress menifesto: Food Bill- This bill will be only for the MPs only. You see MPs represent whole of country. In Parliament reception the cafes' rates are: Tea Re.1/-; Soup Rs.5.50, Daal Rs.1.50, Meals Rs.2/-, Chapati Re. 1/-Chicken Rs.24.50, Dosa Rs.4/-, Biryani Rs.8/-Fish Rs.13/-. So the MPs are covered under the Food Bill. So public need not to worry, If their MPs are feeded in such a way, the food is being taken by the aam aadmi.They have assured of giving jobs to 2 m people. By Congress vision2020 the unemployment which will arise due to FDI will be covered up in 2020.

      If India is 134 in HDI, 70 percent are below poverty line, has most undernourished childen, fifth most corrupt in Asia and more, we have many mean and narrow minded cheering and clapping of merciless looters since 47. When nation has many liabilities or bad people, it takes lots of time to improve.

      All of you should bring BJP back to power in the centre. Therefore the necessary needs to be done. Can we not have young Prime minister like Thailand, some one dynamic and honest.?

      At least this Singh is settling for a minimum of 35. DickVijay Singh will claim 135. Salman Khan will claim 135.5, Senior Advocate Songvi will question: how can we get less than 235.25?, Roshid Ali will claim zero and more from the Italian Sonia Congress circus jokers! So Manipuris will have blockades and job searchs outside Manipur.

      'We will not doing anything but want votes to win elections' This seems to be the motto and manifesto of Congress in all its elections. And this is what they mean by public service. Manipur people have been so dumb that they've been electing this party time and again with no end to their miseries. Hope, atleast now they wake up tot he fact that Congress is a corrupt party full of criminals, selfish n self-centered leaders who care a damn about the people and throw this corrupt party out of power forever. Jai Hind!!!
