Sambit Patra said that the Centre has been working to install a popular Government and a popular Government would be formed in Manipur soon.

On the other hand, sources informed that some of the BJP MLAs who are currently camping at Delhi would be returning to Imphal on Saturday.

Some BJP MLAs told The Sangai Express they are confident that the Central leaders would give the nod to formation of a popular Government in Manipur shortly.

As the Central leaders have assured that a popular Government would be formed definitely, it would not be right to stay any longer at Delhi, the MLAs said.

During the meeting with the six MLAs, BL Santosh assured that the Central leaders have already taken a decision not to further extend the President's Rule but allow the formation of a popular Government, the MLAs said.

BL Santosh assured that all the concerns and wishes of the BJP MLAs from Manipur would be placed before Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

As such, the MLAs will come back and wait for the Centre's response instead of camping at Delhi, they said.

They claimed that the Centre would allow formation of a popular Government in Manipur by November after the Bihar election.
