Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) suspends Manipur party chief for withdrawing support to BJP-led Biren Singh government

The Hindu  

The Janata Dal withdrew support to the Nongthombam Biren Singh-led Bharatiya Janata Party government in Manipur on Wednesday. However, reacting swiftly, the party removed its Manipur State president for “indiscipline” and once again pledged its support for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, stating that the party would continue to remain with the BJP government in Manipur. In a letter to Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla on Wednesday, State party president Kshetrimayum Biren Singh said the JD no longer supports the BJP-led Manipur government and its lone MLA “shall be treated as an Opposition MLA in the House”. “The trial of the five MLAs is pending under the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India before the Speaker’s Tribunal,” the State JD president’s letter said.
