This episode delves into the Outer Manipur Lok Sabha constituency, highlighting its unique features and historical significance. Notably, it is the only constituency where polls are conducted in two phases in the 2024 elections. Furthermore, it holds historical importance as one of the 12 seats that elected a socialist candidate during India’s first general elections in 1952. However, the most pressing issue in this constituency is the ongoing conflict between the Kuki-Zos and Meiteis, sparked by the latter’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status. Senior reporter Abhinay Lakshman, who has closely followed the Manipur conflict, joins the discussion to shed light on the electoral implications of this strife. Presented by Sobhana K. Nair, with video production by Dipesh and overall production by Shikha Kumari.
