While five BJP legislators took their oath in Sanskrit, one Congress MLA also opted to take the pledge in Sanskrit.

Manipur Unrest: Conrad Sangma’s NPP Withdraws Support To Biren Singh Govt, Says it ‘Failed to…’

The National People’s Party (NPP), led by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, has withdrawn its support to the BJP-led government in Manipur, citing the failure of Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s administration in handling the escalating unrest in the state. The NPP’s decision, which involves its seven MLAs in the state legislature, highlights the growing dissatisfaction with the handling of ethnic violence and protests that have been intensifying since May 2023. Despite this move, the BJP’s hold on the government remains largely unaffected due to its strong majority. This development marks a critical moment in Manipur’s volatile political and security landscape, with the NPP accusing the Singh-led government of incompetence in managing the ongoing crisis. #ManipurUnrest #ConradSangma #NPPWithdrawal #BirenSingh #ManipurCrisis #PoliticalTurbulence #BJPManipur #NPPSupport #EthnicViolence #CrisisManagement #ManipurPolitics #GovtFailure #NPPBreaksAlliance #BJPLeadGovt #ManipurProtests ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.101~GR.344~
