Amid a resurgence of ethnic violence in Manipur, the National People’s Party on Sunday withdrew support to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government led by Chief Minister N Biren Singh.
The National People’s Party, which is headed by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, has seven MLAs in the 60-member Manipur Assembly.
The party on Sunday expressed its “deep concern” about the law and order situation in Manipur.
“In the last few days, we have seen the situation further deteriorate where many more innocent lives have been lost and people in the state are going through immense suffering,” Sangma said in a letter to BJP chief JP Nadda.
Sangma said his party believed that the Manipur government under Biren Singh had “completely failed to resolve the crisis and restore normalcy”.
He said in the letter: “Keeping the current situation in mind, the National People’s Party has decided to withdraw its support to the Biren Singh-led government in the state of Manipur, with immediate effect.”
The National People's Party today decided to withdraw its support from the Manipur coalition government.
