Manipur CMN Biren Singh,
The situation in Manipur is currently very tense. Although this state has been affected by violence for more than a year. But the latest circumstances have once again increased tension in the Biren government. The National People’s Party (PNP) has withdrawn its support for the Biren government. In such a situation, we would like to know if Chief Minister N. Biren Singh will lose his position due to withdrawal of support from the NPP? What is the numbers game in the assembly?
The PNP withdrew its support
In view of the latest situation in Manipur, the NPP has withdrawn its support to the BJP-led Manipur government. The NPP has said Biren’s government has failed to normalize the situation in violence-hit Manipur. In a letter to BJP national president JP Nadda, the NPP claimed that the situation in Manipur has worsened in recent days. Many innocent people have lost their lives.
What is the numbers game in the assembly?
The NPP has seven MLAs in the 60-member Manipur Assembly. However, the withdrawal of support from the NPP will not make any difference to the Biren government as the total number of NDA MLAs is 53. Of these, the number of BJP MLAs is 37, while the Naga People’s Front (NPF ) has the support of five MLAs, one from the JDU and three independent MLAs. On the other hand, among the opposition parties, the Congress has five MLAs and the KPA has two MLAs. Earlier, the Kuki People’s Party (KPA) had withdrawn its support to the NDA state government in view of caste violence.

Why did violence break out in Manipur?

Angered by this incident, people attacked the houses of three ministers and six MLAs from Manipur on November 16. Their houses were burned. The vehicles of ministers and MLAs were set on fire. After this, the situation in the state became tense. Internet service was suspended in seven districts. The curfew was imposed indefinitely.
Amit Shah held review meeting
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday held a review meeting on the current situation in Manipur. In this meeting, the Union Home Minister directed the senior officials to take all possible measures to ensure peace in the northeastern state. You can get an idea of the current situation in Manipur from the fact that Home Minister Amit Shah canceled all his rallies in Maharashtra on Sunday and suddenly arrived in Delhi from Nagpur. After reaching Delhi, Shah took stock of the security situation in Manipur with the officials and held a meeting in this regard.
Manipur fights ethnic conflict
Manipur has been battling ethnic conflict for over a year. Caste violence broke out on May 3 last year after a tribal unity march was held in the hill districts of Manipur in protest against the demand for granting scheduled tribe status to the majority Meitei community in Manipur. More than 220 people from the Kuki and Meitei communities and security personnel have been killed in the ongoing violence in the state. Thousands of people have been left homeless.
