history of manipur
by 1971, his political calling was underway, and through pressure and support from the masses, he left the administrative work, and instead joined the 5th lok sabha indian election as an independent candidate. although he was defeated, he again contested from ukhrul/44-ac in 1972 (when manipur attained statehood) as an independent candidate, and comfortably won, thereby becoming a member of legislative assembly (mla). he also became the finance minister of manipur under the chief ministership of mohammed alimmuddin. in 1974, he founded the manipur hills union (mhu), that gave him the opportunity to become the first chief minister (july 1974 – december 1974) from hilly regions of manipur. his first term as chief minister of manipur was short lived, and this was conditioned by the chaos that was emanating under prime minister indira gandhi and her indian national congress.
