The Manipur Lokayukta has dealt a blow to the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the Assembly elections.
On Wednesday, the Lokayukta asked the Manipur government to register a case against 22 people, including ex-IAS officer and BJP candidate Dinganglung Gangmei for involvement in the misappropriation of ₹18-crore meant for beneficiary schemes in a tribal council.
The BJP has fielded Mr. Gangmei from the Nungba Assembly seat. He was the chief executive officer of the Tamenglong Autonomous District Council (ADC) when it received the funds under the 14th Finance Commission.
