सारांश: पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री के इस्तीफे के बाद राष्ट्रपति शासन के एक वर्ष के बाद, राष्ट्रपति ने एक निर्वाचित सरकार बहाल करने के लिए केंद्रीय शासन समाप्त किया, जिसमें एक नए भाजपा नेता को मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में शपथ दिलाई गई।
The two (Adj) Deputy (Adj) Chief Ministers (Sub) are (Present Simple) Nemcha Kipgen, from the Kuki-Zo community (Obj), and Losii Dikho of the BJP’s ally (Obj), the Naga People’s Front (Obj). While these moves (Sub) were taken (Past Simple Passive) to avoid (Infinitive) extending (Gerund) President’s Rule (Obj) beyond one year (Obj), which (Sub) would have required (Past Perfect Modal) moving (Gerund) a Constitution Amendment Bill (Obj) in Parliament (Obj), they (Sub) also (Adv) allow (Present Simple) the ruling (Adj) BJP (Obj) to provide (Infinitive) a semblance (Obj) of democratic (Adj) governance (Obj) to help (Infinitive) it (Obj) regain (Infinitive) public (Adj) support (Obj) during the final (Adj) year (Obj) of the Assembly’s tenure (Obj).
सारांश: दो उप मुख्यमंत्री प्रमुख समुदायों का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हैं। सरकार का गठन केंद्रीय शासन को बढ़ाने (जिसे संसदीय अनुमोदन चाहिए था) से रोकता है और भाजपा को विधानसभा के अंतिम वर्ष में समर्थन फिर से हासिल करने के लिए लोकतांत्रिक सामान्यता का प्रक्षेपण करने देता है।
As seen (Past Participle) in the general election (Obj), the disastrous (Adj) second (Adj) tenure (Sub) of N. Biren Singh (Obj) had led (Past Perfect) to discontent (Obj) in the hills (Obj) and valley (Obj) of Manipur (Obj), reflected (Past Participle) in the victory (Obj) of Opposition (Adj) candidates (Obj). Subsequently (Adv), as sporadic (Adj) violence (Sub) spread (Past Simple) across even relatively (Adv) peaceful (Adj) areas (Obj), a coalition (Sub) of internal (Adj) critics (Obj) in the BJP (Obj), which (Sub) included (Past Simple) Mr. Khemchand Singh (Obj), successfully (Adv) lobbied (Past Simple) for a change (Obj) in leadership (Obj).
सारांश: पिछले मुख्यमंत्री के समस्याग्रस्त कार्यकाल ने व्यापक असंतोष पैदा किया, जो विपक्षी जीत में स्पष्ट था। जैसे-जैसे हिंसा फैली, भाजपा के आंतरिक आलोचकों, जिनमें नए मुख्यमंत्री शामिल थे, ने नेतृत्व परिवर्तन के लिए सफलतापूर्वक दबाव डाला।
That Mr. Biren Singh (Sub) was (Past Simple) present (Adj) when Mr. Khemchand Singh (Sub) was nominated (Past Simple Passive) by the BJP leadership (Obj) to the posts (Obj) of Legislature Party leader (Obj) and Chief Minister (Obj) suggests (Present Simple) party (Adj) consensus (Obj).

सारांश: नामांकन के दौरान पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री की उपस्थिति पार्टी एकता का संकेत देती है। नए मुख्यमंत्री ने सामुदायिक विभाजनों को पाटने के प्रति प्रतिबद्धता दिखाई है, जो पिछले वर्ष एक राहत शिविर के उनके दौरे से उदाहरणित होती है।
President’s Rule (Sub) was also (Adv) intended (Past Simple Passive) to dismantle (Infinitive) the impunity (Obj) of armed (Adj) radical (Adj) groups (Obj) and facilitate (Infinitive) the safe (Adj) return (Obj) of the displaced (Obj). While security forces (Sub) had managed (Past Perfect) to recover (Infinitive) a significant (Adj) portion (Obj) of looted (Adj) weapons (Obj) and tamp down (Past Perfect) the fervour (Obj) of radical (Adj) groups (Obj), the human (Adj) cost (Sub) of the ethnic (Adj) strife (Obj) still (Adv) remains (Present Simple) unaddressed (Adj).
सारांश: केंद्रीय शासन का उद्देश्य सशस्त्र समूहों पर अंकुश लगाना और विस्थापित लोगों की वापसी सक्षम करना था। हालांकि सुरक्षा बलों ने कई हथियार बरामद किए और आतंकवादी गतिविधि कम की, संघर्ष की मानवीय कीमत बनी रहती है।
Only 9,000 (Obj) of the estimated (Past Participle) 60,000 (Adj) displaced (Adj) persons (Obj) have returned (Present Perfect) home (Obj), reflecting (Present Participle) the enduring (Adj) trust (Adj) deficit (Obj). Dastardly (Adj) acts (Sub), such as the execution (Obj) of a Meitei man (Obj) in the Tuibong area (Obj) of Churachandpur, in January (Obj), while visiting (Gerund) his Kuki-Zo wife (Obj), underscore (Present Simple) the urgent (Adj) need (Obj) to defang (Infinitive) radical (Adj) groups (Obj) that (Sub) continue (Present Simple) to hold (Infinitive) sway (Obj).
सारांश: बहुत कम विस्थापित लोग लौटे हैं, जो गहरे अविश्वास को दर्शाता है। क्रूर घटनाएं, जैसे कि हाल का एक अंतर-सामुदायिक हत्या, उन चरमपंथी समूहों को निष्क्रिय करने की गंभीर आवश्यकता को रेखांकित करती है जो अभी भी प्रभाव रखते हैं।
The BJP (Sub) has successfully (Adv) leveraged (Present Perfect) political (Adj) survival (Obj) as a glue (Obj) for its leaders (Obj). However (Adv), engineering (Gerund) a similar (Adj) detente (Obj) between the communities (Obj) remains (Present Simple) a daunting (Adj) task (Obj).
सारांश: जबकि भाजपा ने अपने नेतृत्व को एकजुट करने के लिए राजनीतिक अस्तित्व का उपयोग किया है, युद्धरत समुदायों के बीच समान शांति हासिल करना एक कहीं अधिक कठिन चुनौती है।
