Manipur assembly elections 2022: The NPP is the first BJP's ally in northeast to have made the AFSPA a key poll plank
Conrad Sangma's National People's Party, which many see as the dark horse in Manipur polls this time, in its manifesto for the Manipur polls has made AFSPA its key plank.
It has said that it would work towards the repeal of the Armed Forces (Special) Power Act, or AFSPA, from Manipur.
The NPP is the first BJP's ally in northeast to have made the AFSPA a key poll plank in the backdrop of the last December Nagaland firing incident in which 14 were killed.
The main opposition party, Congress, has promised that if voted to power, it will revoke AFSPA.
