Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh made an urgent trip to Delhi amidst growing internal strife within the BJP regarding his leadership. Sources disclosed to The Assam Tribune that Singh was summoned by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, following a similar call for BJP minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh, who is still in Delhi. Political tensions are on the rise as the Congress party prepares to introduce a “No Confidence” motion in the upcoming Manipur Legislative Assembly session starting February 10.
Congress Working President K Devabrata Singh confirmed that several BJP MLAs are rebelling against Singh’s leadership, countering claims that the reports are merely rumors. He revealed that Amit Shah is attempting to pacify the dissenting BJP members to secure the party’s stability in the legislature. The Congress is unwavering in its decision to challenge the BJP government, indicating readiness to present the motion and seize on the withdrawal of support from former allies of the N Biren Singh administration.
Despite acknowledging uncertainties about their numerical strength to topple the government, Devabrata underscored the psychological and strategic importance of challenging the ruling authority. Media speculation has intensified regarding potential successors within the BJP, with Yumnam Khemchand Singh and Assembly Speaker T. Satyabrata Singh emerging as potential contenders for leadership.
These dynamic developments underscore a turbulent political landscape in Manipur, with the BJP’s internal rift and the Congress’s assertive strategy converging to create an uncertain future for N Biren Singh’s leadership. As the legislative session approaches, Manipur’s political climate remains fraught with tension and speculation.
