BJP’s North East in-charge Sambit Patra on Monday arrived in Manipur to meet MLAs from both Meitei and Kuki community, party sources said.
After landing at Imphal airport, Patra headed for Churachandpur by chopper. He is expected to meet leaders of Kuki organisations as well as BJP MLAs in the district, the sources said.
Patra was received by BJP Manipur general secretary K Sarat Kumar. Patra’s visit to the state came days after 21 Manipur MLAs wrote letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah separately, urging them to form a “popular government” in the northeastern state, which is now under the President’s rule, to ensure peace and normalcy.
