DECODED: What will Manipur vote for in 2022?

Last year, it was the Assam elections that lit up the northeast political atmosphere just before the deadly second wave of the Coronavirus. This year, it is another northeastern state’s turn.

We at EastMojo are, however, focusing on Manipur and discussing the factors that will decide the fate of the former princely state with 60 Legislative Assembly seats.
