Chief Minister N Biren Singh, Manipur BJP President Sarda Devi, BJP National Spokesperson Sambit Patra, Union Minister of State Pratima Bhoumik, Manipur Election Co-in charge, Ashok Singhal also attended the rally.

Meanwhile, addressing the gathering, BJP National Spokesperson Sambit Patra lauded Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Biren Singh for implementing the Inner Line Permit in Manipur.
