Fri Feb 07 18:50:51 UTC 2025: ## Manipur Congress to File No-Confidence Motion Against BJP Government

**Imphal, [Date]** – The Manipur Congress party announced today it will move a no-confidence motion against the BJP-led state government. Congress President Keisham Meghachandra revealed the plan on X (formerly Twitter), referring to the move as a “Brahmastra Missile” aimed at the BJP’s “double engine” government. While he declined to provide specifics, the move represents a significant challenge to Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s administration.

The Congress holds only five seats in the 60-member Manipur Assembly. The opposition’s strength is further bolstered by seven MLAs from the NPP, though the BJP maintains a comfortable majority with 32 MLAs, along with the support of five Naga People’s Front MLAs, six from the JD(U), three independents, and two from the Kuki Peoples’ Alliance. The success of the no-confidence motion hinges on securing additional support from other parties or independent MLAs. The timing of the motion’s introduction remains undisclosed.
