Manipur's Chief Minister Biren Singh has stepped down from his position.

On a busy Sunday in Imphal, Manipur, Chief Minister N. Biren Singh made a significant decision just a day before the Assembly session. He tendered his resignation to Governor A.K. Bhalla, citing his gratitude towards the Central government for their timely interventions, developmental work, and implementation of various projects to protect the interests of the Manipuri people.

In his resignation letter, Biren Singh expressed his sincere request to the Central government, through the Governor's office, to continue their support. He took the opportunity to highlight the crucial areas that have been addressed by the government, such as safeguarding the territorial integrity of Manipur, which holds a rich and diverse history dating back thousands of years. He also mentioned the government's efforts in cracking down on border infiltration and formulating policies for the deportation of illegal immigrants, as well as the ongoing fight against drugs and narco-terrorism.

Biren Singh also listed some of the key accomplishments during his tenure, including the stringent and fool-proof revised mechanism of FMR with biometric verification, and the time-bound and faster border under construction. However, his resignation came as a surprise, just two hours after his meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who was visiting the state.

At 64 years old, Biren Singh was sworn in as the 12th Chief Minister of Manipur on March 15, 2017. He led the BJP to its first victory in the state and successfully retained power in the 2022 Assembly elections. However, his second term was overshadowed by the ethnic violence between the Meitis and Kuki-Zos in May 2023. This unfortunate event had created a cloud of uncertainty over his leadership and may have influenced his decision to step down from his position.

As news of his resignation spreads, the people of Manipur are left wondering about the future of their state and who will be chosen as the next Chief Minister. This is indeed a significant moment in the political landscape of Manipur, and only time will tell what lies ahead for this beautiful and diverse state.
