The Congress government has been in power for many years now with Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh looking for his third straight term. Will this assembly elections turn it around for opposition parties or will the Congress continue to dominate. We look at some of the big players in the 2012 Manipur polls.
Besides eight political parties recognised by the Election Commission of India including Congress, NCP, BJP, JD(U), Trinamool Congress and others, other smaller parties and independents would contest the forthcoming polls in Manipur to be held on January 28. Around 2,357 polling stations have been put up in the state and except 160 of them the rest has been declared hyper-sensitive and sensitive. Manipur has a 60-member Assembly. Of the 350 companies (comprising approximately 3,500 personnel) of security personnel, including 280 companies of para military forces, are to be deployed in the insurgency-hit state.
But the battle of Manipur is being largely seen as a three-cornered contest between Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh, BJP's O Indira Oinam and Trinamool Congress's A K Manglemjao Singh in Thoubal. Recently, actress and BJP member Hema Malini campaigned for Oinam Indira, a school teacher, in Manipur where she urged the people to 'throw the corrupt Congress government out of power.'
