On Monday at 3 p.m., Biren Singh will take the oath of office as Manipur’s chief minister for a second term. The inauguration comes after days of debate and more than a week after the northeastern state’s election results were announced. The BJP has chosen the 61-year-old leader for a second term, according to government minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Other leaders that visited the state before of the announcement included Kiren Rijiju and Bhupendra Yadav.
“It’s a wise move that everyone has agreed on. It will ensure that Manipur has a good, stable, and responsible administration, which will be strengthened as the Centre, led by Prime Minister Modi, pays special attention to the northeast state today. As a result, this decision will go a long way toward ensuring Manipur’s stability and good governance “Reporters were briefed by Sitharaman.
This time, the BJP ran for all 60 seats in Manipur and won 32 of them. It was crucial for the party to win the state in order to maintain its presence in the northeast.
