Janata Dal (United) will soon withdraw support from BJP-led government in Manipur. According to media reports, it said the final decision on this will be taken at a crucial meeting of the Manipur unit of the party with JDU national leaders during the upcoming national executive meet in Patna on September 3-4.
In the recent state Assembly election, The JD(U) emerged as the third largest party in Manipur after the BJP, which won 32 seats and the National People’s Party, which won 7 seats. In the Assembly election, six MLAs were elected from the Janata Dal (United) and had extended support to the N. Biren Singh government since the party was part of the NDA.
After the JD(U) walked out of the NDA, the party severed ties with the BJP at the Centre, and subsequently the Manipur unit-initiated processes to stop supporting Chief Minister N Biren Singh-led government by holding a state executive meeting in Imphal on August 10.
“We are in the process of withdrawing support,” says JD(U) Manipur unit president Ksh Biren Singh. “But we’re waiting for a few formalities.”
