#Manipur results: Congress, BJP fall short of majority; Irom Sharmila gets just 90 votes

Manipur will face a hung assembly as none of the political parties managed to reach the magical figure of 31 required for securing majority following a nail-biting race. While Congress secured 28 seats, its chief rival BJP produced a creditable performance winning 21 seats in the north-eastern state. Meanwhile, National People’s Party and the Naga Peoples Front bagged four seats each, while Lok Jan Shakti Party won a seat. All India Trinamool Congress also managed to bag one seat.
