New Delhi, Apr 7 (IBNS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday will release its manifesto here as voting for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections has started in Assam and Tripura since morning.

In the first phase, voting is being held in six constituencies of Assam and Tripura.

Polling is being held in on of Tripura's two seats on Monday.
