Angomcha Bimol Akoijam, vying for the Inner Manipur Parliamentary Constituency under the Congress banner, has unveiled a visionary manifesto poised to rejuvenate Manipur’s political landscape and societal fabric. With a steadfast commitment to fostering a new era of governance and inclusivity, Akoijam’s personal manifesto comprises a robust agenda of 13 transformative initiatives. These initiatives, he vows to champion if elected as a Member of Parliament, span a wide spectrum of critical issues vital to Manipur’s progress and prosperity.
At the core of Akoijam’s manifesto lies a resolute determination to address the scourge of ongoing violence and advocate for justice for internally displaced persons, setting a precedent for accountability in governance. Furthermore, he advocates for constitutional safeguards, including scheduled tribe status for the Meitei community, alongside support for the implementation of population policies and the establishment of a National Register of Citizenship. Akoijam’s vision extends beyond conventional political rhetoric, as evidenced by his proposals to establish an Economic Development Task Force, initiate Educational Empowerment Initiatives, and foster inter-community dialogue and collaboration. Moreover, he underscores the imperative of governance accountability and oversight, alongside initiatives to preserve and promote Manipur’s rich indigenous arts and cultural heritage.
Central to Akoijam’s transformative agenda is a paradigm shift from a militarized lens to civilian governance, aimed at fostering sustainable peace and progress. He also emphasizes the need to rebuild Manipur’s brand image and institute administrative reforms to ensure efficient and transparent governance. With a resolute focus on strengthening Manipur’s position within the Indian federal polity, Akoijam’s manifesto resonates with the aspirations of Manipuri citizens for a brighter and more prosperous future.
