However, Sharmila earlier in the day said that in case of her defeat she will try again in the 2019 general elections. "I do not feel much affected by the result. It depends upon the people's mindset. I don't feel much affected by it, because people can still change their minds and everybody knows muscle and money power is being openly used by parties," Irom said.
