Creation of new dists and economic blockade Highly polarised election

It will be a highly polarised election. No that the hills and the valley areas have always voted along the same line or say the same issue, but this time, the divide is too loud not to be missed. And it is this point which The Sangai Express has been trying to drill into the […]

Case of too many cooks spoiling the broth Please one, disappoint others

Expectedly it is the two principal political parties which have announced the names of candidates for the upcoming Assembly election. While the Congress has named candidates in all the 60 Assembly seats, the BJP is yet to name its candidates in Bishnupur AC and Lamshang AC. Whether the BJP will field candidates in these two […]

NE India, underdevelopment and increased budgetary allocation

Indeed it was good news. The Union Budget 2017-18 raised the total allocation for the eight Northeastern States from Rs 32180 crore in 2016-17 to Rs 43245 crore.

Pushing Jyotin out from the Congress Backing better prospects

Let it be clear. It was not Jyotin Waikhom who chose to leave the Congress, but the party which literally sealed the door on him in admitting Kh Joykisan into the Congress sometime back. The same is the case with Sagolshem Achouba, the man who has been contesting from Wangoi Assembly Constituency as a Congress […]

Tripartite talk: Light at the end of the tunnel?

No doubt, all sections of people living in the tiny but multi-ethnic State of Manipur have been reeling under extreme misery for quite a long time. The reason is obvious. It is the UNC’s indefinite economic blockade imposed since November 1 last year on the two National Highways which connect the State with other parts […]

Not to forget other political parties… Sharmila’s party is also in the fray

Not surprisingly the focus has been on the BJP and the Congress and a look at the daily newspapers published from Imphal will definitely testify this. And it is not without reason. In power for the last fifteen years and seemingly placed to extract all possible advantages from the sharp polarisation of the people, especially […]

Politicising the economic blockade Failing to address the core issue

Pro-boxing has landed here and why not ? Right venue, right boxers

Pro-boxing has landed here and why not ? The venue is just right, for though Manipur has not produced internationally well known professional boxers, the young pugilists from the State have been making a name for themselves in the international circuit. Difficult to say when the boxing fever caught on, but rewind to 1998 and […]

Yet another day of boycott on Republic Day Refusing to address the issue

Another Republic Day has come and gone. Yet another day of deserted streets with people preferring to stay inside the safe confines of their homes instead of taking the risk of stepping out.

Looking beyond the party of the candidate Study their antecedents

It will be a show down between the Congress and the BJP. No doubt about it. But what is it that the people or rather Manipur really need ? Will the people go for the party or will they look at the candidate, his or her standing in society, his or her sincerity and the […]

Does Manipur want another spell of Cong rule ? The all important poser

Does Manipur want another spell of Congress rule or will it go for a change come voting day on March 4 and March 8. Tough to say but it is important to question whether such a thing as anti- incumbency will have a say on how the voters behave or not. This question is interesting […]

The much awaited list is out, albeit the first list of 32 candidates.

Inadvertently strengthening Cong Election via the blockade

The United Naga Council (UNC) has already made its point. And it is time they act on the fact that the longer they continue with the economic blockade, the better the prospects of Chief Minister O Ibobi and his party the Congress to come back to power. Or maybe the ongoing economic blockade has already […]

Coming out strongly against New Delhi Likely poll impact in Naga areas

The Centre should take due note of the seriousness of the matter. Perhaps this is the first time, after the ceasefire agreement was inked way back in 1999, that the NSCN (IM) has come out strongly against New Delhi and at the core of it all is the creation of seven new districts by the […]

Politics of economic blockade Dangerous and dirty politics

Manipur is not new to the politics of blockade. If politics is considered a dirty calling by quite a large number of people, nothing can be dirtier and more dangerous than this brand of politics. Manipur has seen enough blockade to understand how dangerous it can be. The present economic blockade imposed by the United […]
