Crisis hits BJP govt in Manipur; Congress knocks on governor’s door
Manipur’s Opposition Congress party on Thursday called for a trust vote in the assembly, a day after nine legislators from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led alliance resigned from the government.Former chief minister and senior Congress leader Okram Ibobi Singh wrote to governor Najma Heptullah and requested a special assembly session to conduct the trust vote.The development is significant because the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the BJP, is in power in all the North-East states.
