Biren Singh confident BJP will return to power in Manipur

Imphal: Despite losing the two seats of Manipur in the Lok Sabha polls, Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh said the BJP will come back to power in assembly polls in 2027.

Talking to ET in Imphal on Friday he said work of erecting fencing along the Indo-Myanmar border has started along the 389 km long border.

Congress wrested the Inner Manipur seat from the BJP and Outer Manipur seat from its ally, the Naga People's Front (NPF).

"The border fencing work has started, and BRO is entrusted by the Centre to carry out the work. The Deputy Commissioners are making available requisite land," Singh said.

Singh exuded confidence that BJP will come back to power in assembly polls and the recent defeat is not going to hamper the prospects of the party.

"Due to the prevailing situation, we are not talking much about the work done by us. Once the situation normalises, we will go all out and tell people about the work done by the government. Nothing can stop BJP owing its work done here is unstoppable," Singh said referring to the killings last May between Meitei and Kuki tribes in some districts of Manipur.
