IMPHAL:

Manipur has been under the President's Rule since February 13, four days after BJP leader N Biren Singh resigned as the chief minister, amid criticisms about his government's handling of the ethnic clashes between Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities that broke out on May 3, 2023.

Talking to reporters outside the Raj Bhavan in Imphal, Singh said that he, along with nine other MLAs, met the governor to formally inform him of the support for a new government.

"Forty-four MLAs are ready to form a government as per the wishes of the people. We have conveyed this to the governor. We also discussed what solutions can be there for the issue," he said. "The governor noted what we had to say and will initiate actions in the best interests of the people."
