Guwahati's political scene is buzzing like never before, with BJP's Northeast in-charge Sambit Patra's recent visit to Manipur, setting the stage for possible new government formation. But the cat's out of the bag - neither the BJP nor its leaders have publicly acknowledged these rumors.
The state's been under President's Rule since February 13, 2025, after Chief Minister N. Biren Singh's resignation amidst the deadly ethnic violence that's been peppering Manipur since May 2023. Amidst the chaos, more than 260 souls have been claimed, and thousands left homeless.
Sambit Patra, not just a BJP spokesperson but also the state in-charge, has been on a sizzling tour, first heading to Churachandpur. This strategic move included a heartfelt exchange with Th Vungzagin Valte, the MLA from Thanlon who had survived a brutal mob attack in May 2023. The lively gathering also had the presence of Churachandpur MLA LM Khaute, student leaders like the Zomi Students Federation, and other local leaders.
In his final act, Sambit paid a visit to the Speaker Th Satyabrata's residence, followed by a closed-door meeting with leaders of the Kuki Zo Council (KZC) and the Zomi Council (ZC).
The ethnic strife that's plagued Manipur for months has left deep scars, and the state assembly still basks in suspended animation, until 2027. However, this hasn't dampened the people's and many leaders' demand for a swift return to a popular government.
A group of 21 BJP MLAs have already penned a pleading letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking the immediate restoration of a democratic government in the troubled state. The sense of urgency is palpable, with the finishing line for President's Rule now in sight.
The road to democratization might be fraught with challenges, but the thirst for stability and justice remains unquenchable in Manipur. As the political drama unfolds, the state waits with bated breath for a chance at redemption.
Manipur, currently under President's Rule, has been the focus of BJP's Northeast in-charge Sambit Patra, who recently visited the state to initiate potential new government formation. During his tour, Sambit met with MLA Th Vungzagin Valte and other leaders, fostering discussions on policy-and-legislation and politics.
Amidst the General News of the prolonged ethnic violence that has affected the state since May 2023, BJP's 21 MLAs have appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the immediate restoration of a popular government in Manipur. The demand stems from the urge for stability and justice, hoping to overcome the challenges on the road to democratization.
The political movement in Manipur, initiated by Sambit Patra, has set the stage for a significant shift in the state's politics, with the finishing line for President's Rule now in sight.
