Manipur BJP MLAs Press for Restoration of Elected Government

Central leaders say the request is under consideration after meetings in New Delhi.

Overview

Former chief minister N. Biren Singh said 25 BJP MLAs met Northeast in-charge Sambit Patra and that a smaller group later met B.L. Santosh to push for installing a popular ministry.
Singh described the legislators as united on forming an elected government and said the process is being pursued with party leadership without a confirmed timeline.
B.L. Santosh indicated the demand is being considered and is expected to visit Imphal, according to Singh’s account of the meetings.
Internally displaced persons reported overcrowded rooms and non-functioning toilets in relief camps, and Singh urged more frequent official inspections and greater civic support.
IDPs protested a proposed allowance of Rs 84 per person per day, marching to the Sawombung SDO office, while Singh praised Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla’s efforts but called governance under President’s Rule slow.
