M<\/span>anipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh<\/a> resigned on Sunday, February 9, amid ongoing ethnic violence and political turmoil. In response, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh announced plans for a no-confidence motion against Singh\u2019s administration in the state assembly, set for February 10. Ramesh criticized Singh\u2019s resignation as overdue, noting Congress has advocated for his removal since May 2023, when the violent conflict began.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Manipur CM\u2019s Resignation Sparks Controversy Amidst Climate Concerns, Jairam Ramesh Calls It \u2018Belated\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ramesh also took aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, criticizing his absence in Manipur despite the ongoing crisis lasting nearly two years. \u201cWhile he travels to France and the USA, the people of Manipur have yet to receive a visit from our PM,\u201d Ramesh commented.<\/span><\/p>\n

Singh resigned following a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi, before returning to Imphal to submit his resignation to Governor Anusuiya Uikey. Accompanied by senior BJP leaders and MLAs, Singh expressed his gratitude to the central government for its support in his letter, highlighting their developmental work in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite Singh\u2019s resignation, the BJP-led government retains a majority in the Manipur Assembly, with 32 BJP MLAs bolstered by support from the Naga People\u2019s Front (NPF) and Janata Dal (United) [JD(U)]. The National People\u2019s Party (NPP), led by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, has withdrawn its support, but the BJP\u2019s position remains secure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ethnic violence in Manipur has claimed over 250 lives and displaced thousands since May 2023. The BJP government has been under scrutiny over its handling of the crisis, with critics blaming the administration for failing to restore order. Singh\u2019s resignation marks a significant political moment in Manipur as the state continues to grapple with unrest and calls for stability and effective governance.<\/span><\/p>\n
