Manipur violence: Kuki and Meitei MLAs of the BJP Meet in Delhi for the First Time Since the Violence in Manipur

Manipur violence: On Sunday, December 14, the BJP’s Meitei and Kuki MLAs gathered in Delhi, two years after the ethnic conflict erupted in Manipur in 2023. There are now new rumors that the BJP would establish a government in Manipur again as a result of the conference.

Manipur is now governed by the President (Article 356). President Murmu recently visited the war-torn state for two days on December 11 and 12. She said that the valleys and hills go well together during this tour. She also mentioned bringing about peace in Manipur. The Kuki tribe lives in the hills, while the Meitei population lives in the lowlands.

The President’s message of bringing about peace in the state is strengthened by the gathering of BJP MLAs from the Meitei and Kuki groups in Delhi. In Manipur, a number of BJP MLAs have also demanded the establishment of a government.

When Will Manipur’s President’s Rule End?

Manipur will remain under the President’s administration till February 2026. Previously, on August 13, 2025, the state’s President’s rule was extended. The Election Commission or Parliament must agree to any further expansions of the President’s authority in the state.

What Did They Talk About During the Meeting?

Restoring peace in the state was the primary subject of discussion at the summit. On his social media site, X, BJP national secretary BL Santosh provided information on the meeting and said, “This meeting was very productive.” We spoke about Manipur’s progress and peace.
