Imphal, March 09 2022:
JD (U) candidate in Phungyar Constituency Ashang Kasar has categorically stated that the recent Assembly election being not 'free and fair' is shameful on the part of the State Government.
Speaking to the media at his Mantripukhri residence today, Ashang Kasar continued that the Assembly election which was held in two phases on February 28 and March 5 was filled with controversial incidents and as such it was never free and fair.
Claiming that proxy voting was widespread in both the hill and valley districts, the JD (U) candidate asserted that a large chunk of voters were denied the opportunity to exercise their adult franchise freely.
Accusing the civil societies of remaining mum during the time of election, he asked if the CSOs too have started working with a hidden agenda.
He then urged the people of Manipur and the CSOs to be vigilant so that elections could be held freely in future.
