The people of Manipur have overwhelmingly rejected the BJP and its ally, the Naga People’s Front, in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This outcome is a significant victory for the Congress, which has regained control of the Inner and Outer Manipur constituencies after losing them to the BJP in 2019.
The period between the third and fourth Lok Sabha elections was marked by significant events that shaped the political landscape of India. From the tragic deaths of two Prime Ministers to the brief tenure of Gulzari Lal Nanda as caretaker Prime Minister, the nation faced challenges and uncertainties. Indira Gandhi emerged as the new Prime Minister, leading the Congress to victory in the 1967 elections. However, the results marked a turning point in Indian politics, with non-Congress governments emerging in several states for the first time. The election was significant for its high voter turnout, reflecting the people’s discontent with the ruling government. The fourth Lok Sabha, with increased seat representation and a diverse political composition, heralded a new era in India’s parliamentary history.
