Manipur’s 10 Kuki MLAs, including seven from BJP, expressed optimism Sunday that Centre will establish a comprehensive political roadmap for peace and justice in the strife-torn state. They welcomed Centre’s decision to place the assembly under suspended animation following the resignation of N Biren Singh midway through his second term as CM. President’s rule was imposed last Wednesday, but the assembly has not been dissolved. While Meitei groups have expressed displeasure over President’s Rule, Kuki-Zo organisations advocating for a separate administration called Union govt’s decision a \”ray of hope\” The assembly is expected to be dissolved by the end of the month. The state has been in the grip of a political crisis since Singh’s resignation midway through a two-year term as the state’s chief minister last month. It has been ruled by the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government since the Singh resigned. The NDA government has been accused of mismanaging the affairs of the state since it came to power in 2012.
