A Deputy Chief Minister of Manipur has publicly urged the state to take action against another Deputy Chief Minister, as reported by The Hindu.
Manipur’s political leadership witnessed a rare intra‑government clash on Tuesday when one Deputy Chief Minister publicly appealed for disciplinary action against his fellow Deputy Chief Minister. The appeal was reported by The Hindu, which cited the unnamed official’s demand for the state machinery to intervene.
The call for action underscores growing tensions within the coalition that governs the northeastern state, although the specific reasons behind the demand were not disclosed in the brief report. Observers note that such public disagreements among senior ministers are uncommon in Manipur’s recent political history.
State authorities have not yet responded to the request, and no formal proceedings have been announced. The development adds a new dimension to the ongoing political discourse in Manipur, with analysts waiting for further clarification from the chief minister’s office.
