The JD(U) leadership has denied all reports of withdrawing support from BJP-led government of Biren Singh in Manipur and said ‘the reports are misleading and baseless.’
JD(U) national spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan Prasad said, “This is misleading and baseless. The party has taken cognisance of this and the president of Manipur unit of the party has been relieved of his position. We have supported NDA and our support to the NDA government in Manipur will continue even in future. Manipur unit did not have any communication with the central leadership, they were not taken into confidence. He (Manipur JDU chief) had written the letter on his own. Considering this an act of indiscipline, action was taken against him and relieved of his position…We are with the NDA and the state unit will continue to serve the people of Manipur towards the development of the state.”
Earlier, the president of the Manipur unit of the party announced that the JD(U) has officially withdrawn its support from the BJP-led government in state. This decision leaves the party’s lone MLA in the state assembly to join the opposition bench.
In a letter to Manipur governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla, state JD(U) chief Ksh Biren Singh said, “In the election to state assembly of Manipur held in February/ March 2022, six candidates set up by JD (U) were returned. After a few months, five MLAs of JD (U) defected to BJP. Trial under Tenth Schedule of India of the five MLAs is pending before the Speaker’s Tribunal. After JD (U) became part of India Bloc, support to the BJP-led government was withdrawn by JD(U)… as such, seating arrangement of the lone MLA of JD(U) in Manipur Md Abdul Nasir is made in the opposition bench in the last session of the Assembly by the Speaker,” the letter added.
