The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has failed to name a new chief minister for Manipur two days after N Biren Singh’s resignation, sources told CNN-News18. With party MLAs divided, BJP northeast in-charge Sambit Patra met Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla to discuss the situation. The state has remained tense since ethnic violence erupted in May 2023, killing 250 people. With no consensus, President’s Rule is likely under Article 356, transferring power to the Centre. Singh resigned amid internal dissent and a possible Congress-led no-confidence motion. BJP’s state chief called it a move to protect Manipur’s integrity.
