Rahul Gandhi, who was campaigning in Imphal ahead of the polling for the phase one of Manipur Assembly Elections 2017 on March 4, addressed a rally and talked about the developmental strategies he has in mind for Manipur. He told the people that he want to see London having coconut juice and using other ‘Made in Manipur’ goods. He said, “I want development of Manipur in food processing unit as well. I would also want when someone drinks coconut juice in London and sees ‘Made in Manipur is written on it.” He also said that Manipur people should question Prime Minister Modi on his next trip to Manipur. “What has he done for the state,” Rahul Gandhi asked.

In October 2016, Rahul Gandhi had held a Kisan Mahayatra in Uttar Pradesh and while speaking to the farmers, he said, “You all are demanding a potato factory in your area, but you should understand I am an opposition leader, I can put pressure on the government, but cannot take the decision. I cannot open a potato factory for farmers.”

His comments had then taken social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook by storm with people immediately sharing memes and photoshopped images ridiculing Rahul Gandhi.

At the Imphal rally, Gandhi charted out a plan for Manipur saying that he has two or three dreams about Manipur. “You make handicraft products, furniture and pottery etc, and Manipur women have put their effort, love, and sweat in making good quality handicraft products. These are your strengths, and I want these things should be made stronger,” Rahul said.
