After Sangma’s NPP pulls support from Biren govt in Manipur, BJP dares it to do the same in Meghalaya

New Delhi: Days after the National People’s Party (NPP) withdrew its support from the N.

Biren Singh’s residence, where a resolution was passed to act against the Kuki militants behind the abduction and killing of six Meitei women and children, was the latest instance of how the Manipur CM is finding it difficult to keep his flock together. While sources in the Chief Minister’s Office said that around 26 MLAs, including ministers, had attended the meeting Monday, ThePrint has also learnt that several among the BJP’s 37 MLAs had absented themselves from the meet...
