The Kuki People's Alliance (KPA), a political party in Manipur, has withdrawn its support for the BJP-led government in the state. KPA’s withdrawal of support is a major blow to the BJP government, and it will be difficult for the government to maintain its majority without the KPA’s support.
This has sent a strong message to the remaining eight Kuki MLAs, all from the BJP, to take a stand on the ethnic clashes in Manipur.
The KPA's decision to withdraw support comes after months of violence between the Kuki and Meitei communities in Manipur. The clashes have killed over 140 people and displaced thousands more. The KPA has accused the BJP government of failing to address the root causes of the violence, and of being biased towards the Meitei community.
The KPA's decision to withdraw support is also significant because it comes at a time when the BJP is facing increasing pressure from other ethnic groups in Manipur. The Naga People’s Front (NPF), which has four MLAs in the state assembly, has also been critical of the BJP government's handling of the ethnic clashes. The NPF has said that it is considering withdrawing its support for the BJP government and will decide in the coming days.
The situation in Manipur is fluid and uncertain, and what will happen next is unclear. However, the withdrawal of support from the KPA is a significant development, and it could have major implications for the future of the BJP government in the state.
