Former Manipur CM and BJP State President Visit Delhi Amid Government Formation Talks

Former Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh and state BJP president A Sharda Devi traveled to New Delhi for meetings with the BJP central leadership, reportedly to discuss forming an elected government in Manipur. The state has been under President's Rule since February 2025 following Singh's resignation. The BJP holds a majority in the assembly, but internal divisions exist over the next chief minister, with Singh and Assembly Speaker Thokchom Satyabrata Singh as contenders. Ethnic tensions and demands for a Union Territory add complexity to the political situation.
