Manipur's Political Turmoil: Calls for Fresh Elections Amid President's Rule

The Manipur CPI(M) unit urges the immediate revocation of President's rule and the holding of fresh elections. Following Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s resignation, the state assembly is under suspended animation. CPI(M) and allies vow to uphold Manipur's territorial integrity during this period.

The political landscape in Manipur is experiencing significant upheaval as the CPI(M) state unit demands the immediate revocation of President's rule. They advocate for fresh elections to be held promptly, following the resignation of Chief Minister N Biren Singh.

President's rule was imposed in the state just days after Singh stepped down, leading to the state assembly being placed under suspended animation. In a conversation with reporters, Ksh Shanta, secretary of the CPI(M) state committee, emphasized the party's commitment to safeguarding the territorial integrity of Manipur during this challenging period.

The announcement of central rule was formalized by a notification from the Ministry of Home Affairs, citing constitutional provisions. Senior BJP leader Sambit Patra's visit to the Chief Minister's secretariat has sparked speculation, though details of any meetings remain undisclosed.
