CM Biren openly shared about spending huge amount of money during the election. The statement is very unfortunate and it shows the level of unfair means used by the BJP to grab power, MPCC general secretary P Saratchandra said.
With 15,085 votes, former CM Okram Ibobi Singh defeated his closest rival BJP candidate Leitanthem Basanta in the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly polls.
Counting of votes began in the five states - Goa, Manipur, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand amid tight security. While it could take hours to get a clear picture of the voters’ verdict, the initial trends will start emerging soon after the counting of postal ballots starts. Stay tuned for more updates.
