After high drama, Manipur Chief Minister Biren Sigh drops his resignation plan

The Hindu  

Beleaguered Manipur Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh was stopped by his supporters from resigning on Friday, amid high drama in Imphal. ‘Not told to quit’ The BJP later announced that Mr. Singh had decided against quitting, in order to honour the sentiments of the people and civil society organisations. Neither Home Minister Amit Shah nor the central BJP leadership had instructed the Chief Minister to step down, an associate of Mr. Singh told The Hindu. Since Friday morning, speculation was rife in Manipur that Mr. Singh would resign, as he had failed to contain the violence despite the deployment of 35,000 Army and central paramilitary personnel in the State.
