Concerned over the law and order situation in poll-bound Manipur, the Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress Committee has said that establishment of "rule of law" is the foremost necessity for holding free and fair elections scheduled on 4 and 8 March.
Senior Vice-President Inaocha Singh said that the party is of the view that the impasse over the economic blockade "is very unfortunate" and "both BJP and Congress are trying to gain political mileage out of it".
Inaocha said both the parties were responsibility for the hardship faced by the people. "The time has come to teach a lesson to the two political parties,” he added..
