The MLA appealed to the public to extend their support to the ongoing efforts aimed at restoring democratic government in Manipur. He was accompanied by fellow BJP lawmaker Yumnam Khemchand.
'The party is trying its level best to create a conducive atmosphere. Holding meetings with the central government and various civil bodies from both the Meitei and Kuki communities is part of the roadmap for restoring peace', Ibomcha said.
Following intensified political turmoil and leadership crisis, the Centre imposed President's Rule in the state on February 13, four days after N Biren Singh resigned as chief minister. Although the Manipur Legislative Assembly's term extends until 2027, it has been placed under suspended animation.
State BJP president A Sharda Devi recently met central BJP leaders, including national party president JP Nadda and national general secretary (organisation) BL Santosh, to discuss the prevailing political scenario in Manipur.
The state has been grappling with a deepening crisis since May 3, 2023, which has claimed over 250 lives and displaced more than 60,000 individuals.

DMK, allies come hard at AIADMK over Murugan event
Chennai: DMK and its allies continued criticism of AIADMK for participating in the BJP 's recent Murugan meet that denigrated Dravidian icons 'Periyar' E V Ramasamy and C N Annadurai. VCK Chief Thol Thirumavalavan expressed shock over the AIADMK's continuance in the NDA despite insults to its party ideologues and asked the party to rethink ties with the BJP. MMK leader M H Jawahirullah too accused AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami of mortgaging his party's principles. These statements come amid speculation about alliances shifting leading up to the elections. Thirumavalavan, wooed by the AIADMK before the 2024 elections, recently stated that VCK had no issue joining hands with AIADMK minus BJP and PMK. On Wednesday, Thirumavalavan called on the AIADMK leadership to explain its stance on NDA for the 2026 election.

Eyeing farmers, Vijay to hold roadshow from delta in Aug
Chennai: To woo the electorally significant farming community, TVK leader and actor Vijay will start his state-wide tour in August from the Cauvery delta. Also on his agenda is wooing some of the DMK allies after ruling out a tie-up with AIADMK, which has joined hands with BJP again, multiple sources told TOI. The actor wrapped up his shoot for 'Jana Nayakan', reportedly his last film, scheduled for release in Jan. Following a meeting with booth-level agents in Coimbatore, Vijay is planning a second roadshow in another region. The party is considering a district unit meeting led by the actor, along with a second phase of enrolment drive, aiming for two crore members. The party says it has enrolled 1.1 crore members across the state. An associate of Vijay said, "The delta has been chosen for his campaign launch with farmers and land as the focus." The state-wide tour will likely involve a campaign vehicle, similar to his event in Parandur, where he protested the destruction of farmland for the proposed greenfield airport. In 2011 the actor addressed his first public rally in Nagapattinam (in the delta), organised by Vijay Makkal Iyakkam, to condemn attacks on Tamil Nadu fishermen. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo You Can Also Check: Chennai AQI | Weather in Chennai | Bank Holidays in Chennai | Public Holidays in Chennai Sources indicate that Vijay aims to lead an alliance and share power with allies. While AIADMK's attempts to bring him on board were unsuccessful, the BJP camp has been showing interest in aligning with the actor to unseat the DMK govt. Leaders of the state BJP unit, including its president Nainar Nagenthran and K Annamalai, had recently extended birthday wishes to Vijay. Former Telangana governor Tamilisai Soundararajan referred to Vijay's films in her greeting, encouraging him to "support good deeds against evil forces". A senior TVK functionary dismissed the possibility of an alliance with BJP. He said, "Vijay is not interested in aligning with BJP. Let them do anything. But alliance with BJP is 100% ruled out." AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami, who greeted Vijay on X last year, chose to remain silent this year. This comes against the backdrop of talks with TVK stalling due to Vijay's demand for 50% seats and CM candidature for the first half of the tenure.
