Imphal: 9th February 2025: N Biren Singh has resigned as the Chief Minister of Manipur. The resignation was formally handed over to the Governor earlier today, marking a significant shift in the state’s leadership. Singh, who assumed office in 2017, has been under pressure due to ongoing unrest in the region, as well as political tensions that have stirred public debate.
Sources suggest that the resignation comes amid growing calls for accountability and leadership change from various quarters, particularly after months of unrest and concerns over the state’s law and order situation. Singh’s tenure has been a mix of achievements and controversies, but his decision to step down comes at a time when the state is seeking stability and reform.
The resignation has left many political analysts wondering about the future of Manipur’s governance and who will succeed Singh in leading the state. A major reshuffle in the ruling party is expected, with several names being floated as potential successors.
What’s Next for Manipur? With the resignation now official, the political landscape of Manipur is set for a fresh chapter. The state’s future will depend heavily on the decisions taken by the central leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which governs at the national level.
The political community and citizens alike are eagerly waiting to see who will step up to fill the shoes of Singh and steer the state toward peace and prosperity. The resignation could also have implications for regional and national politics, with several speculating that the development may influence upcoming elections in the state and beyond.
