The Central leadership of the BJP has called a meeting in Delhi over the formation of Manipur government, sources said, amid reports of factionalism over the post of the Chief Minister. Both caretaker Chief Minister Biren Singh and Biswajit Singh, a strong contender for the post, will attend the meeting.
State party chief Sarda Devi and state in-charge Sambit Patra will also attend the meet, BJP sources have told NDTV.
Although the BJP did not formally announce a Chief Ministerial face in Manipur, the party fought the polls under the leadership of N Biren Singh, who had campaigned across the state.
Biswajit Singh has been in the BJP longer than Biren Singh, but the latter was chosen for the top post after the 2017 elections, BJP sources told NDTV.
