Conrad Sangma Ends Manipur Visit, Calls for Elected Government and Rejects Bifurcation

He left the question of backing a BJP-led government to consultations with his Manipur MLAs.

Overview

  • Over two days in Imphal, the NPP chief met Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla, civil society groups from Meitei, Naga and Kuki‑Zo communities, and internally displaced people.
  • He said restoring a democratically elected government is essential to normalcy as Manipur remains under President’s Rule with the Assembly under suspended animation.
  • Sangma stated that the NPP opposes any separate administration for Kuki‑Zo areas and supports Manipur’s territorial integrity.
  • He said any decision on supporting a BJP‑led government will follow consultations with the party’s six MLAs in Manipur and a review of conditions on the ground.
  • Manipur Congress president Keisham Meghachandra criticized the visit as a political move to revive the NDA, while Sangma framed his outreach as humanitarian and focused on peace-building.
