In Manipur, there has been a growing buzz for the past few days that there is going to be a leadership change in the state. A section of MLAs from the BJP and its allies Naga People’s Front (NPF), National People’s Party (NPP) and JDU are pressuring Chief Minister Biren Singh to step down. Amidst the buzz of this possible leadership change, Chief Minister Biren Singh has also admitted that some MLAs of his party and allies are in Delhi. However, the CM categorically rejected the fact that the MLAs’ Delhi visit has anything to do with his resignation.
