Manipur Election Results 2017

The BJP moved with tyre-burning speed to clinch numbers and power in Goa and Manipur, where the verdict wasn't purely in its favour. One Chief Minister has already won a trust vote, another will get there soon.

The BJP's Chief Ministerial candidate Nongthombam Biren Singh today reiterated his party's claim that they has the numbers to form government. While the party is yet to be formally invited by Governor Najma Heptullah to form government, Raj Bhavan sources have expressed hope that it could be done by tomorrow.

What was the Congress thinking? That state governors are still 10 Janpath appointees instead of coming from Nagpur and Ashoka Road? It still has the entitled lethargy it displayed in government, and none of the hunger that a party that has practically no governments to its name should display.

As the BJP is claiming to form government in two states - Goa and Manipur - where it stood second to the Congress, former finance minister and the senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said, the "BJP stealing elections in Goa, Manipur".

The Congress has objected to the BJP being invited to take charge of Goa. In a letter to the Governor, the Congress said despite emerging as the single-largest party after assembly elections results were declared on Saturday, the governor had invited the BJP to form the government - a move "not constitutionally permissible". Preempting a similar an...

Strife-torn Manipur today delivered a split verdict today -- which while appearing to favour the Congress, has placed the BJP in a stronger position.

Manipur handed its 'Iron Lady' a humiliating defeat at the polls today. Irom Sharmila, who took on Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh in his stronghold of Thoubal, lost with a record margin. She got only 90 votes. Twitter was quick to comment on her stunning loss - some attributing it to Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, who publicly supported h...

Manipur is not happy with Irom Sharmila. The 'Iron Lady' who had taken on Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh, has lost with a record margin, polling only 90 votes. The three-time Chief Minister won comfortable with 10,740 votes. Ms Sharmila's chance of securing a seat in the 70-member assembly now rests on Khurai, the other seat from where she is con...

Goa Election Results 2017: The Congress, which is set to lose heavily in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarkhand as per early trends, will have some consolation -- leads in Goa and Manipur, besides the big victory in Punjab.

Irom Sharmila Chanu, the activist who ended an iconic 16-year fast to debut in politics and contest the Manipur election, said if defeated, she would try again -- in the 2019 national election. "I do not feel much affected by the result because people are yet to be given a chance... Everybody knows muscle and money power are openly used," Irom Shar...

Manipur election results 2017 remain inconclusive with neither the Congress nor the BJP able to get a majority. The BJP, in its best performance in the insurgency-hit Northeastern state in decades, gave a tough fight to Okram Ibobi Singh's 15-year-rule to rank second. The Congress is likely to be the single largest party.

The BJP rode a Modi super-wave to a massive victory in Uttar Pradesh today, winning 312 of the state's 403 seats; its allies have won 13 seats for a grand total of 325. It's a triumph that will strengthen Prime Minister Narendra Modi's claim to a second term in 2019. As jubilant party workers celebrated an early Holi, BJP chief Amit Shah credited t...
