His perceived bias towards one group hindered reconciliation efforts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Political Dissidence and Loss of Public Trust<\/strong> \u2013 Growing dissatisfaction within the BJP-led NDA government and the party\u2019s loss in both Lok Sabha seats in 2024 reflected public fatigue with the administration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breakdown of Law and Order<\/strong> \u2013 Armed groups looted police armories and openly brandished sophisticated weapons, creating a culture of impunity. The Union government effectively assumed control under Article 355 without formally declaring it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Failure to Address Displacement<\/strong> \u2013 Over 60,000 people remain displaced, with little effort towards rehabilitation or confidence-building among affected communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Measures for Stability and Inclusive Governance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Leadership Change and Reconciliation Efforts<\/strong> \u2013 The BJP must appoint a neutral leader committed to peace and inclusive governance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engagement with Civil Society<\/strong> \u2013 Grassroots leaders and community representatives should be involved in dialogue to address grievances.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restoration of Law and Order<\/strong> \u2013 Disarming militant groups, strengthening local policing, and ensuring impartial action against violence are crucial.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Federal Solutions for Ethnic Harmony<\/strong> \u2013 Implementing constitutional provisions for regional autonomy and power-sharing can address long-standing demands from hill and valley communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Mr. Singh\u2019s resignation presents an opportunity to reset governance in Manipur.
