Brinda announced her decision at a public gathering held at her residence at Yaiskul.
She said that no other political party has caused so much destruction and ruin to Manipur as BJP has done.

“Even though I could not win the last election, I received enormous public support and love”, she said.
In order to overhaul the existing system, it is essential to go to the State Assembly, she said.
“I’ve neither money nor muscle power but people’s faith is my strength”, Brinda asserted.
On being asked under which party’s flag she would contest the election, she said that she has not yet decided on that.

Nonetheless, she underscored the need for a regional political party in Manipur.
Saying that no other political party has brought such destruction and ruination in Manipur as done by the BJP Government during the last nine years, Brinda said that a regional party can work in the interest of the people of Manipur.
