Biren Singh Leads Manipur BJP Push in Delhi for Restoration of Elected Government

Manipur remains under President’s Rule, leaving New Delhi to decide on restoring an elected administration.

Overview

  • Former chief minister N. Biren Singh and several BJP MLAs have reached New Delhi to press for a "popular government" to be formed in Manipur.
  • The delegation says it will brief central leaders on law and order, rehabilitation of internally displaced people, and reopening key highways.
  • Party sources say the group is slated to meet BJP Northeast in‑charge Sambit Patra and will seek an appointment with Union home minister Amit Shah.
  • More legislators, including Speaker T. Satyabrata and an NPP MLA, are flying in, Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla has held meetings in the capital, and a BJP MLA warned colleagues may resign if restoration is blocked.
  • President’s Rule, imposed in February after the chief minister resigned, was extended by Parliament for six months from August 13, and the 60‑member Assembly remains in suspended animation.
