Congress Demands Fresh Elections to Restore Peace in Manipur

Congress MP Saptagiri Sankar Ulaka has raised demands for fresh elections in Manipur in hopes of restoring peace and fraternity in the volatile region.

Speaking at the 'Vote Chor, Gaddi Chor' rally in Imphal, Ulaka underscored the party's commitment to defending democracy under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, and seeking accountability from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

With President's Rule in effect since February and the BJP and allies holding a strong majority in the Manipur Assembly, Ulaka emphasized the need for new elections through a massive signature campaign targeting ten crore endorsements, which aims to petition the President of India or the Election Commission.
