Imphal/ Manipur,2nd February : Amidst a significant political churning, sources indicate that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is gearing up to stake a claim to form a popular government in Manipur. The state has been under President’s Rule since February 13, 2025, with the Legislative Assembly kept in suspended animation.
Meitei CM Likely, Say Sources
According to top sources, the next Chief Minister of Manipur will be from the Meitei community. While the former CM N. Biren Singh had resigned last year following ethnic unrest, the central leadership is reportedly looking for a face that can provide stability while ensuring the representation of the majority Meitei community. The final decision on the name remains with the party high command in New Delhi.
High-Level Meetings in the Capital
A flurry of political activity has shifted from Imphal to New Delhi. Almost all NDA legislators, including those from the BJP, NPP, and NPF, have been summoned to the national capital for crucial discussions.
The Deadline: With the tenure of President’s Rule set to expire on February 13, 2026, the BJP is keen to restore an elected government to avoid a further constitutional crisis.
Support Base: In the 60-member house, the BJP holds a comfortable majority with 37 MLAs, supported by various alliance partners and independents.
The Road Ahead
The move to install a popular government is seen as a step toward restoring normalcy in the strife-torn state. However, the path is not without obstacles. Integrating representatives from the Kuki-Zo community into the new cabinet remains a sensitive and vital issue for the long-term peace of the region.
