Former Union minister and leader of Manipur People's Party (MPP) Thounoujam Chaoba has stated that the next government would be formed by non-Congress parties.
On Saturday, Manipur went to the polls to elect 60 legislators - 40 in the valley and 20 in the hills.
"The ruling Congress will bite the dust in the just concluded polls. According to our assessment, Congress would hardly win 10 seats in the valley areas. This means that the remaining 30 seats would be grabbed by non-Congress parties," Chaoba said at a media conference here on Tuesday evening.
"The like-minded non-Congress parties, which would come out victorious from the hills, would definitely join the opposition front to form the next government," he added. The MPP is one of the key member of the People's Democratic Front ( PDF), the grand pre-poll opposition alliance set up to take on and defeat the ruling Congress. Other members of the front are NCP, CPI (M), JD(U) and RJD. The front fielded its common candidates in 43 constituencies. "On false charges of having nexus with underground organizations hurled by these men, our workers and even my election agent were pulled up by the police but after proper verification they were released later. We urge the DGP to hold a probe into the reign of terror unleashed by them and take necessary legal action," said Chaoba.
On Monday, BJP national general secretary Tapir Gao ,while expressing strong confidence of winning 45 seats by the opposition parties, urged non-Congress parties to unite for taking on the ruling Congress.
