Election Results 2012
Manipur is a state in Northeast India with Imphal as its capital city. Over the past few years, Manipur has seen several ethnic clashes among its local groups. the primary ethnic group in the state, which cover almost 60% of total population is the Meiteis. But the Meiteis are restricted to just 10% of the total land area. The remaining 90% land is occupied by the Kukis, Nagas and Paites, who form the other 40% of the population.
Manipur has undergone a separatist movement since 1964, with some groups even demanding a sovereign state which is separate from India. There are a lot of groups in Manipur with a variety of demands. The Unired National Liberation Front (UNLF), Peoples Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) and PLA of Manipur together form the Manipur People's Liberation Front. Their primary demand is independence from India. The Kuki insurgent groups, which comprise of Kuki National Organisation and United Peoples Forum, want a separate state formed with some parts from Nagaland.
Manipur was recently witness to a 120 day economic blockade. Prices of petrol, food and all other essential commodities went sky high and people were left suffering. But despite having a Congress Govt at the center, the state Govt led by Congress was unable to do much to end the blockade. In the absence of a strong united opposition, Congress would be hoping to win the Manipur elections 2012.
