IMPHAL: The anti-incumbency factor is worrying the ruling Congress in Manipur, Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh has said.
Ibobi Singh, who has been in power for three consecutive terms, said the anti-incumbency feelings may tilt the balance in the January assembly polls.
“If our party can overcome this factor, it will win at least 50 seats in the 60-member house,” he said.
“In 2002, we got 20 seats and 31 in 2007. We created a political record in the state by winning 42 seats in 2012.This time we are expecting about 38 seats, even after conceding the anti-incumbency factor”, he added.
The Chief Minister admitted that there were some lapses in the police recruitment tests. This is why the government cancelled the test results and held fresh tests.
He added that the appointment of ranking officials had been entrusted to Manipur Public Service Commission. (IANS)
