Joining hands: On Manipur and Y. Khemchand Singh as new Chief Minister
President Droupadi Murmu revoked the President’s Rule in Manipur on Wednesday, allowing Yumnam Khemchand Singh, a BJP leader, to be sworn in as the new Chief Minister. The move aims to restore democratic governance and regain public support for the ruling party ahead of the Assembly's final year. Khemchand Singh was nominated by the BJP leadership following discontent among voters, particularly in the hills and valley regions, stemming from the previous Chief Minister's poor performance. The revocation of President’s Rule also aims to address the ongoing ethnic strife and facilitate the safe return of displaced people.
