Nitish Kumar's JD(U) to withdraw support from BJP-led govt in Manipur

| @indiablooms | Aug 31, 2022, at 05:15 am

Guwahati/IBNS: Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) is likely to withdraw support from the BJP-led government in Manipur, media reports said.

"This is not likely to be a threat to the Biren Singh government," NDTV reported quoting BJP sources.

Currently, the BJP-led coalition in Manipur is backed by 55 MLAs in the 60-seat assembly including seven JD(U) members.

Even if the party withdraws support, it would bring the number of the ruling coalition to 48, which is still way above the majority mark of 31.

The JDU was extending outside support to the Biren Singh government even though Kumar had ended the long alliance with the BJP in Bihar and walked out of the National Democratic Alliance.

The final decision on this will be taken at a crucial meeting of the Manipur unit of the party with JDU national leaders during the upcoming national executive meet in Patna on Sept 3-4.

The BJP and the JD(U) were not in alliance in the Manipur state elections that took place earlier this year.
