According to the report, the post polls political scenario in Manipur has been clearing day by day with political episodes happening every day. BJP party got 32 seats in just concluded Twelfth Manipur Legislative Assembly Elections and they have the support of an Independent candidate.

So the party has enough numbers to form a BJP State Government. However, the present Care Taker Chief Minister N. Biren Singh has indicated that a coalition government with NPF is possible. He clearly said that BJP will not go with NPP which was a partner in the last term.

The leaders of BJP Manipur HAVE informed that the post of Chief Minister and government formulation will only be decided by party high command. So everyone in the state has been waiting for the verdict of BJP national leaders. It is expected that the pandora’s box will only be opened when party observers arrived in Imphal.
