Major Issues For Manipur Voters
Development and Welfare of youth and women top the wishlist of the voters in Moirang, who feel that the constituency has fallen behind despite having excellent tourism potential and rich cultural heritage.
Moirang constituency will witness a three-cornered fight between the National People’s Party, Congress, and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Meanwhile, in the Olympic medalist Mirabai Chanu’s village, drinking water supply, and poor road conditions are key issues. The village, which is about 25 km from Imphal comes under the Lamlai Assembly constituency where five candidates from BJP, Congress, JD (U), Republican Party of India (Athawale), and an Independent are in the fray on 28th February.
