NEW DELHI: In a fast-paced political development in Manipur, Congress legislative party leader O Ibobi Singh on Thursday said his party is trying to form a government and will soon move a no-confidence motion against the N Biren Singh dispensation.
This comes after the resignation of nine members of the BJP-led coalition, including four ministers
Here are the top developments:
Congress writes to governor, asks for a special assembly session
Ibobi Singh, a former chief minister, has written to the governor, requesting him to call a special Assembly session to adopt a resolution on ‘No Confidence Motion’ against chief minister N Biren Singh’s government and to invite the newly formed Secular Progressive Front to form the government.
The shift in the political equilibrium in the 60-member house has come ahead of the Rajya Sabha election on Friday in which BJP is fielding the titular king of Manipur Leishmba Sanajaoba as its candidate.
Notice for removal of speaker
The opposition Congress also served a notice for the removal of speaker Y Khemchand as the party emerged stronger after the rebellion of nine MLAs of the ruling BJP-led coalition.
Congress MLA K Meghachandra submitted the notice
