Lawyer -turned legislator Samuel won from Ukhrul Constituency.
In the sixty-member Manipur Assembly, NPF has four MLAs.
The motive behind the attack could not be immediately ascertained and no group has claimed responsibility till the time of filing this report.
Samuel could not be contacted for comments.
Condemning the attack in the strongest term, Manipur unit NPF secretary Athuan Abonmei said the perpetrators should not carry out such inhuman act in crowded areas in future.
Abonmei also demanded the attackers to spell out the motive behind their act, which he termed as beastly.
The blast came barely a couple of days after the residence of Pradesh Congress committee vice president Sagolsem Achouba at Wangoi in Imphal West was attacked with a bomb.
The impact of the blast today partially damaged Berean Lodge which is run by the MLA.
Manager of the Lodge (Fooding and Lodging), Ngachonmi Valeri said that he was not at the Lodge when the bomb attack came.
