Manipur Elections 2022: The BJP is contesting on all 60 assembly seats in the state.
While the BJP today released its election manifesto for Uttar Pradesh, the party will take "some more time" in another poll-bound state, Manipur, to release its manifesto, Union Minister and Minister In-charge for Manipur polls Bhupendra Yadav said at a press conference in Imphal on Tuesday.
"This time we will bring out the manifesto in a different way. We have discussed with all stakeholders, civil society and with citizens in a detailed way. We will release the manifesto after the election campaign begins in full flow," Mr Yadav said.
The minister confirmed that the party will contest the upcoming assembly elections under the leadership of the chief minister. "Under the strong leadership of N Biren Singh, BJP has completed their five years successfully in Manipur and in the coming polls, they will again fight the election under his leadership," Mr Yadav added.
Mr Yadav said that PM Modi and several other union ministers will campaign in the state.
