In February, the Bharatiya Janata Party (
BJP
)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) installed a new government in
Manipur
, a year after former chief minister N Biren Singh resigned amid allegations from Kuki groups that his administration had been biased towards the Meitei community and had mishandled the ethnic violence that erupted in May 2023.
Yumnam Khemchand Singh, a Meitei leader, was sworn in as CM alongside two deputies representing the
Naga
and Kuki communities. The arrangement raised hopes that the reconstituted NDA government could help heal the deep divisions between the hill and valley regions and restore some measure of stability.
