The NPP's withdrawal of support for Manipur's BJP government highlights growing dissatisfaction with the handling of ethnic violence, though the BJP retains a majority and remains in power, facing increasing pressure to find a political solution to the crisis.

The development comes amid the National People's Party (NPP), which has seven MLAs in the 60-member Manipur Assembly, withdrawing support from the BJP-led government, claiming that the N Biren Singh dispensation has "completely failed to resolve the crisis and restore normalcy" in the northeastern state.

The NPP holds seven seats in the 60-member legislative assembly, but the move is unlikely to destabilize the government, as the BJP maintains a clear majority with 32 seats.

The crisis in Manipur took another turn Sunday with Conrad Sangma’s National People’s Party (NPP), the second-largest ally with seven MLAs in the BJP-led NDA state government, withdrawing its support to the ruling alliance citing its failure to “restore normalcy” and expressing “deep concern”.
