BJP Moves to Form Government in Manipur Amidst Political Turmoil
In a critically important political maneuver, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is making strides to form a new government in Manipur, following the resignation of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh.This comes after the central government imposed President’s Rule in february, amid ongoing unrest in the state. A delegation of ten NDA legislators, including eight from the BJP, has approached governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla to assert their claim to form a government, signaling a potential shift in the political landscape.
For nearly two years, Manipur has been embroiled in turmoil, with ethnic tensions escalating into violence. The BJP’s inability to announce a new chief minister even after Singh’s resignation raises questions about its leadership and governance capabilities.Internal party sources suggest that some legislators believe the imposition of President’s Rule has temporarily stabilized the situation, leading them to argue that it may no longer be necessary. As the BJP navigates this complex political terrain, the future of governance in Manipur hangs in the balance, with citizens watching closely for developments that could either restore order or plunge the state back into chaos.
