Angomcha Bimol Akoijam interview | 'My plank is to restore peace and accountability in Manipur'

As Manipur heads into the first phase of the Lok Sabha election in the shadow of an ethnic conflict, the two communities involved in the conflict — the Kuki-Zo people and the Meitei people — find themselves in a peculiar situation.

In the first phase on April 19, most of the violence-affected parts of the State go to the polls. These include all of the Inner Manipur constituency, which covers Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur, and Thoubal districts having a largely Meitei population, and large parts of the Outer Manipur constituency (ST) covering Churachandpur, Kangpokpi and Chandel with a majority Kuki-Zo population.

Angomcha Bimol Akoijam, the Congress candidate from Inner Manipur, talks to Abhinay Lakshman on what he plans to do for the constituency.
