Campaigning for the first of the two-phase Manipur Assembly election, scheduled for March 4, ended at 3 pm on Thursday.
The election is billed as a major test for the Okram Ibobi Singh-led Congress government in the state which has been in power for the last 15 years.
In the first phase, 38 Assembly seats out of 60, covering both the Imphal valley and the hills, will go to the polls. Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi and Rajnath Singh were the star campaigners in the first phase.
