Imphal, August 03 2021:
If any competent and capable woman candidate wants to contest election in the upcoming 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly election in early 2022, Shiv Sena will give opportunity to them.
Shiv Sena Manipur Unit's president M Tombi, who is currently at the National capital, said this in a video message released today and added that the State unit has been given the nod by the National leaders to contest election in 18-19 seats.
He added that the opportunity will be given more to women candidates in order to make up for the lack of women representation in the Manipur Legislative Assembly.
As Shiv Sena is part of Manipur Democratic Alliance (MDA), a meeting will be convened with members of the alliance regarding seat sharing and contesting the upcoming election, added M Tombi, who is also convenor of MDA.
M Tombi also appealed everyone to observe SOPs and to get vaccinated at the earliest in order to curb the spread of the virus and prevent the outbreak of the 'third wave' .
