Imphal, Jan 21:

The first list of candidates to be contested in the upcoming 12 Manipur Assembly elections scheduled to hold on February 27 and March 3 for the BJP is likely to be announced before January 26, the Republic Day of India.
Source close to Imphal Times said that the central leadership had summoned the state BJP leaders along with the National Executive member of the BJP Th. Biswajit to finalise the matter. As the notification for the election is for the phase is scheduled on February 1, the BJP felt it necessary to announce the list of candidates who are to contest in the upcoming election. However, due to some party matter affairs, the BJP may announce the name of the candidate that does not have a problem.
Another source told that the central BJP leaders had summoned important leaders of the state BJP including Chief Minister, President of the BJP Manipur A. Sarda Devi. However, as per information received from the Chief Minister’s office, Chief Minister N. Biren Singh is not leaving the state today, but may likely leave for Delhi to meet the central BJP leaders to finalise the BJP candidate list for the first phase.
What is interesting about the report is that the Center is unlikely to interfere with the selection of candidates by the state BJP authority. Even as there are differences in giving party ticket to candidates, it has been confirmed that the BJP state leadership have no problem in the selection of the candidate by the Chief Minister at some constituencies.
It is likely that the first list of candidates for the BJP contender may be those who were selected by the National Executive member Th. Biswajit and the president of the BJP Manipur Pradesh A. Sarda Devi. This is being speculated as there are no differences of opinion between Chief Minister N. Biren Singh and the BJP party organization.
