After an encouraging voter turnout of 87 per cent in the first phase of Manipur assembly election, the BJP went full throttle with campaigning for the second phase where voting for the remaining 22 seats will take place on March 8. The BJP is eyeing the 10 seats in the Thoubal district that has been three-time Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh's bastion for the last 15 years. Thoubal is also the most keenly watched seat in the assembly election where activist-turned-politician Irom Sharmila is taking on Mr Ibobi Singh.
