Overview

  • BL Santosh and Sambit Patra reached Imphal for a three-day visit and opened talks with BJP MLAs at the party office.
  • A closed-door meeting, attended by former chief minister N. Biren Singh, saw 29 BJP legislators seek a “popular” government and a voice in choosing the leader.
  • The visiting leaders plan separate meetings with MLAs from the hills and the valley, outreach to NDA partners including the NPF, and a visit to Churachandpur to meet Kuki MLAs.
  • BJP legislators contend that prolonged President’s Rule has slowed rehabilitation and weakened accountability, while the central team reviews organisational strength and security conditions.
  • No decision on government formation has been announced, and the consultations follow a Delhi meeting where 26 BJP MLAs urged restoration of an elected administration.
