The State is going the Assam way and the BJP is hopeful that the saffron shall elsewhere too in the region
Manipur not only too said a big no to anti-incumbency but has rather solidified BJP’s hold into the North East. Chief Minister Biren Singh led the party to victory bagging 32 seats of the 60, routing the Congress, which had in 2017 won 28 then.
The National People’s Party bagged 7 seven seats, NPF 5 seats, JD(U) 6 seats and Congress reduced to just 5 seats. Biren Singh should be given credit as he did not allow tempers within the party to surface.
At the same time, it could be said that his policies did work with the people and that the party gained “majorly” in pockets that were considered Congress strongholds.
The State is going the Assam way and the BJP is hopeful that the saffron shall elsewhere too in the region. Importantly, the JD(U) making inroads should be a warning that disillusionment can set in for it is the candidate that matters here for the voter. North East turning saffron can never be certain.
