Manipur BJP MLAs Head to Delhi Amid Government Formation Talks

Ten Manipur BJP MLAs, including ex-CM N Biren Singh, traveled to Delhi for discussions with the party's central leadership. The meeting is expected to focus on government formation in Manipur, currently under President's Rule. The state has faced challenges following ethnic violence earlier this year.

In a significant political move, ten BJP MLAs from Manipur, including former Chief Minister N Biren Singh and speaker Th Satyabrata Singh, have made their way to Delhi. Their agenda is a meeting with the BJP's central leadership, raising speculations about potential developments in the state's governance.

The former Chief Minister expressed his optimism, stating, 'I am expecting positive decisions that could enhance Manipur's future.' This meeting holds particular importance as the state remains under President's Rule after Singh's resignation amid severe criticisms over handling ethnic violence in May 2023.

With the BJP commanding a majority of 37 out of 60 seats in the assembly, the discussions are expected to focus on government formation. MLA Kh Joykishan Singh suggested that more clarity on the government's future might emerge post-meeting, while MLA RK Imo Singh noted the uncertain nature of details expected from the talks.
