The situation in Manipur is very tense at this time. Although this state has been affected by violence for more than a year. But the latest situation has once again increased the tension of the Biren government. The National People’s Party (NPP) has withdrawn its support from the Biren government. In such a situation, let us know whether the withdrawal of support by the NPP will lead to the loss of Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s chair? What is the number game in the assembly?
NPP withdraws support
Looking at the latest situation in Manipur, the National People’s Party has withdrawn support from the BJP-led government of Manipur. The NPP has said that the Biren government has completely failed to normalize the situation in violence-affected Manipur. In a letter to BJP National President JP Nadda, the NPP claimed that the situation in Manipur has worsened in the last few days. Many innocent people have lost their lives.
What is the number game in the assembly?
The NPP has seven MLAs in the 60-member assembly of Manipur. However, the withdrawal of support by the NPP will not affect the Biren government as the total number of NDA MLAs is 53. BJP has 37 MLAs among them while it has the support of five MLAs of Naga People’s Front (NPF), one of JDU and three independent MLAs. On the other hand, among the opposition parties, there are five MLAs of Congress and two of KPA. Earlier, the Kuki People’s Party (KPA) had withdrawn support from the NDA government in the wake of ethnic violence.
