Manipur Government formation: What led to President’s rule in the strife-hit State? The story so far
The BJP appointed Tarun Chugh, the party's national general secretary, as the central observer for electing a new leader of the Legislature Party in Manipur. This decision follows President’s Rule imposed almost a year ago due to ongoing ethnic violence and conflict between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities. The violence has led to over 250 deaths and displaced thousands, prompting the resignation of former Chief Minister N. Biren Singh in February 2025. The Union Home Ministry is exploring ways to restore a popular government in Manipur as President’s Rule concludes next week.
