Sarda Devi claimed that the state BJP office and the Manipur chief minister also received congratulation letters from various sections of the society in the state.
The BJP is celebrating the election of Draupati Murmu as the next President of India for four days (July 21 to 24) and the state unit of the party is also organizing various programmes to celebrate the same.
