Manipur and 'first' BJP CM Biren could make a difference in Naga peace deal
The unrest in Manipur after 'cease work' paralysing the state on Thursday had left the BJP central leadership and especially Union Home Minister Amit Shah irked.
On Thursday evening - as the Naga peace talks 'entered' the final and crucial stage - Mr Shah ordered mandarins in his ministry to issue a statement stating that no final word has been said or could be said until the states of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh have been consulted.
It was a strongly worded statement and specific use of the word 'rumour' and 'credence' even had left many Naga leaders confused.
This actually has a background and here comes the role BJP's 'first' Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh.
Prior to the developments on Thursday, Home Minister and BJP president held audience with CM Biren Singh and a delegation of Manipur leaders from various parties.
