The Manipur unit of the Congress described the meeting of the State’s Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs in New Delhi on Sunday (December 14, 2025) as a “crash course on how to justify administrative failures back home”.
The BJP’s central leadership had summoned these MLAs to discuss “peace and progress” in Manipur, which has been struggling to recover from the scars of the ethnic violence that broke out between the majority Meitei and the tribal Kuki-Zo communities on May 3, 2023.

Former Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh and four of the party’s seven Kuki-Zo MLAs were among the 34 who attended. This was the first time that the Meitei and Kuki MLAs of the State sat face-to-face after more than two years.
“Instead of restoring law and order in Manipur, the BJP has reduced its MLAs to students, attending crash courses in Delhi on how to justify administrative failures back home,” Manipur Congress president Keisham Meghachandra Singh wrote on X on Monday (December 15, 2025).
