Mon Feb 10 13:44:41 UTC 2025: ## Manipur CM Biren Singh Resigns Amidst Ongoing Violence
**Imphal, [Date]:** Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh has resigned from his post, triggering widespread speculation. While initial reports suggested various reasons for his departure, the BJP’s Manipur President, A. Sharda Devi, has clarified that the resignation was driven by a desire to serve the welfare of the state’s people.
Singh’s resignation comes amidst nearly two years of intense violence in Manipur and follows a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He submitted his resignation to the Governor just a day before the state assembly session was scheduled to convene.
The timing of the resignation has not escaped political commentary. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, for instance, linked the resignation to court investigations and public pressure. Security agencies have reportedly been put on high alert following the announcement. The reasons behind the resignation, however, remain subject to ongoing interpretation and political analysis.
