The BJP has actually maintained Manipur after another round of defections, but instability reigns
After winning the sole seat in the Rajya Sabha elections in Manipur by a slim margin on June 19, and through suspicious means, and following the return of the NPP’s lawmakers to the judgment coalition’s fold, the BJP-led government has actually managed to stave off the crisis that threatened its survival. The government in Manipur came to power regardless of the BJP winning only 21 of the 60 Assembly seats, 7 short of the Congress’s 28.
