This move reflects his dissatisfaction with the BJP’s response to the situation in Manipur and his commitment to the welfare of the people above political affiliations.
The BJP’s leadership urged him to reconsider his resignation, highlighting the significance of his presence within the party. This departure signifies a significant development in Manipur’s political landscape and raises questions about the BJP’s standing in the state.
