IMPHAL, Nov 6 : The seven year reign of chief minister Okram Ibobi wherein has cost Manipur of 4000 lives said P. Chandra Shekhar Rao, organisation secretary of the North East BJP, while speaking during a press conference today at the BJP Manipur unit office at Netiapat Chuthek.

He said history surely will remember these seven years under Ibobi as the "Black Period".

Rao said there is an urgent need for sincere intervention of the Central government to resolve the chaotic situation Manipur is entrapped in currently.

Not only the state government, but the Centeral government as well are not taking serious note of the situation in Manipur as the Union home minister P. Chidambaram till date has not even thought of making an intervention on the issue of closure of schools in the wake of the July 23 incident, as well as the attacks on media, Rao said adding the SPF government in Manipur has failed to deliver justice to the people.

The BJP leader also observed that there is an urgent need for a raid on three chief minister of North Eastern states of India including Manipur, Arunachal and Assam, by the Income Tax department like the raids on bureaucrats everywhere in the country, alleging that they have been siphoning away funds meant for public into their accounts.

Rao also alleged that Okraom Ibobi Singh has become a violence-endorsing chief minister with the motive of milking funds from the Central government on the pretext of tackling militancy.

He also said that present SPF government in Manipur maintains good relations with some underground groups.

The secretary also said on a daily basis killing and seizure of arms would not bring any solution to the prevailing situation in Manipur. Besides he felt that the current chief minsiter is incapable of bringing any solution to Manpur`s problem.

Addressing the conference, the state BJP unit president H. Borobabu Singh, said that state government has failed to bring solution to the prevailing situation arising out of the July 23 incident.

Instead of bringing solution, the government is busy playing divide and rule policy he said adding it was very unfortunate that state government has failed to take any proactive action on the issue even though it has been more than two months that educational institutes have come to a grinding halt.

The SPF government should be solely responsible for any loss in the future, Borbabu maintained.

Borobabu further held that the BJP would try to raise the issue in the upcoming Parliament session and in international forums.

He also revealed that the BJP was trying to project its own candidate for the by-election of the Yaiskul A/C however if there was a common candidate from the opposition parties they would support the candidate and added that the BJP would also organize a sit in protest with like minded CSO, students` bodies in connection with the July 23 incident at Delhi and invited the Apunba Lup to participate in the protest.
