Voting for 22 Assembly constituencies in Manipur has begun. The 22 constituencies are spread across the valley districts of Thoubal and the hill districts of Ukhrul, Chandel, Tamenglong and Senapati. A total of 98 candidates are contesting in these constituencies. The elections in Manipur this time are billed as a crucial test for the 15-year-old Congress regime which is facing a stiff challenge from the BJP. The BJP leaders criticised the ruling Congress for its alleged failure to solve the over three-month-long economic blockade paralysing the two national highways of the land-locked state. All eyes are on Sharmila who broke her 16-year fast last year and floated a party of her own -- the 'Peoples' Resurgence and Justice Alliance' to fight the Assembly elections in her quest to get the controversial AFSPA repealed.
