Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh resigned on Sunday but has been asked by Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla to continue as caretaker CM until a new appointment. Singh has been advised against making major policy decisions while handling routine governance. The BJP government faces a potential no-confidence motion after losing ally NPP’s support, though it retains a majority with 32 seats and backing from JD(U) and NPF. Ethnic violence since 2023 has worsened political instability, with over 250 deaths reported. The 12th Manipur Assembly’s 7th session is set to begin on February 10.
