The Naga Peoples Front will contest 10 seats in the 60-member Manipur assembly voting on February 28 and March 5.
A sub-plot in the electoral battle for Manipur this time has been the rivalry between members of BJP-led the ruling coalition, the latest episode of which on Saturday saw one of them accuse another of an outright "betrayal".
The Naga Peoples Front (NPF) which is a key ally of the BJP in Manipur has claimed that another partner party of the government - Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma's National People's Party or NPP - has betrayed other coalition partners in Manipur.
This barb comes after the NPP last week levelled a grave allegation that some of its candidates have been threatened by terrorists at the instance of the BJP and the NPF.
"We are part of the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) at the centre. Regionally, we are part of NEDA (North-East Democratic Alliance) and in Manipur partner in the coalition government. Once we make a commitment, we honour it. And that is why, even though we are fighting alone, we still have a good relationship with the BJP," Awangbow Newmai, Manipur cabinet minister and the state president of the NPF, told NDTV in an interview.
