The Congress is confident of returning to power for the fourth time on the trot in Manipur, riding on a “growing wave of anger” over the ongoing economic blockade and “apprehension” about the State’s territorial integrity.

“We will win more than a two-thirds majority in the State. The people have understood very well the game plan of the BJP. They are hand in glove with those who have called this blockade and are a threat to the territorial integrity of Manipur,” State Congress spokesperson K.H. Joykishan said.

Polling for the 60 seats in the Manipur Assembly will take place in two phases on March 4 and 8.
