With Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh resigning on Sunday, the state’s political landscape has been thrust into uncertainty. The immediate challenge for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is to finalize his successor, but party insiders suggest that the central leadership may opt to delay this decision to reach a broader consensus. This has raised the possibility of President’s Rule being imposed in the state, at least temporarily.
The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) has urged President’s Rule in West Bengal, citing escalating tensions and allegations of violence and harassment by Trinamool Congress (TMC) supporters in Sandeshkhali. The NCSC highlighted the need for constitutional safeguards and expressed concern over the state government’s response. This comes amid ongoing violence and demands for urgent action to protect the affected communities.
