Former Manipur CM N Biren Singh has said that the BJP is constantly working towards restoring peace and installing a popular government in the state at the earliest. Singh was talking to reporters after attending a state BJP meeting held on Saturday, chaired by A Sharda Devi, the state BJP president.

“BJP’s main objective and concern is to restore peace in the state and install a popular government in Manipur. We have also approached the central leaders many times for the same. Given the current situation in Manipur, we are confident that the central leaders would soon install a popular government. For more than seven months there have been no reports of any hostility between communities. Peace is gradually returning to Manipur,” said Biren Singh.

The former CM said that people are realising the threat posed by illegal immigrants and drugs in the entire region, including Manipur.

State BJP president, A Sharda Devi said the state BJP has informed the central leaders about the strong desire of the people to have a popular government in the state at the earliest. “We believe the Centre will do the needful very soon,” she said.

Manipur was placed under President’s Rule on February 13 days after Biren Singh resigned as the chief minister. While the state legislators had on several occasions met the Governor of Manipur to form a new government, there has been no significant breakthrough.
