Biren Singh Resigns as Manipur CM, Assembly Session Canceled

Manipur CM N Biren Singh resigned just before the scheduled assembly session on February 10. Hours later, the Governor canceled the session, declaring previous orders “null and void.” Congress leader Jairam Ramesh claimed Singh resigned to evade a no-confidence motion. BJP’s internal rift over his handling of the state’s crisis reportedly led to his exit. Many BJP MLAs were dissatisfied with the leadership, citing failure to restore peace. The resignation marks a major political shift, leaving uncertainty over Manipur’s governance and BJP’s next move.
