The BJP Parliamentary Board has strategically appointed Tarun Chugh, the national general secretary, as the central observer to facilitate the election of a new legislature party leader in Manipur. This move aims at establishing a government in the region, currently under President's rule.

Ahead of the expiration of President's rule next week, NDA MLAs from Manipur have been summoned to Delhi by the central leadership of the BJP. The urgency is palpable as the central rule was imposed due to ethnic strife between the Meitei and Kuki communities, leading to governmental suspension.

With 37 BJP MLAs ready to take action, Tarun Chugh orchestrates preparations for a legislature party meeting in Delhi, thus paving the way for political stability in Manipur. The ongoing discussions reflect the party's commitment to understanding the complex ethnic dynamics prevalent in the state.
