BJP Names Central Observer in Manipur as Rule Ends and Government Looms
With President's Rule in Manipur nearing its anniversary, BJP appoints Tarun Chugh as a central observer to oversee the legislature leader selection ahead of a potential government.
In Manipur, weeks ahead of any formal government formation, the BJP has appointed a central observer to oversee the process of selecting the legislature party leader. Senior leader Tarun Chugh has been named to guide the election, as the party prepares for possible changes in government.
The development comes as BJP-led NDA lawmakers were summoned to New Delhi for discussions, signaling a coordinated effort to form a government after nearly a year under President's Rule.
Manipur has been under President's Rule since February 2025 following ethnic violence, with the rule set to complete one year on February 13.
Observers and party insiders say the move aims to ensure a smooth transition if a government is formed, though no sworn-in date has been announced.
