The Parliament is set to rock again over the issue of government formation in Goa and Manipur.

On Saturday, the results of the five states -- Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur were announced in which the UP romped to victory in UP and Uttarakhand while the Congress won Punjab.

The Congress is the largest single party in Manipur with 28 seats - as against the BJP's 21 - in the 60-seat assembly and needs three more lawmakers to back it to cross the magic figure of 31.

The BJP said it had the support of 21 MLAs, the exact number needed to prove majority in the 40-member House. The assembly polls had thrown up a hung verdict, with the BJP bagging 13 seats as against 17 won by the Congress.
