Hope this marks the first step towards ending the horrific nightmare that Manipur has endured: K C Venugopal
K C Venugopal took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on Biren Singh's resignation, "Since May 2023, it was clear to the entire world that N. Biren Singh’s position as Manipur CM was untenable.
It was also evident that he was unfit to remain in his post, yet the Central Government continued to shield him despite growing demands for his removal. For over 20 months, he fueled chaos, exacerbating the civil war-like situation in Manipur. His inaction and active role in instigating violence cost many precious lives—lives that could have been saved had he been removed earlier.
"The irrefutable audio clips exposing his role in inciting violence, and the Congress party’s no-confidence motion against his government, finally forced him to resign. We hope this marks the first step towards ending the horrific nightmare that Manipur has endured."
PM Modi allowed Biren Singh to continue despite Manipur violence: Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi on Biren Singh's resignation, "For nearly two years, BJP's CM Biren Singh instigated division in Manipur. PM Modi allowed him to continue despite the violence, loss of life, and the destruction of the idea of India in Manipur.
"The resignation of CM Biren Singh shows that mounting public pressure, the SC investigation and the no-confidence motion by the Congress have forced a reckoning. But the most urgent priority is to restore peace in the state, and work to heal the wounds of the people of Manipur. PM Modi must visit Manipur at once, listen to the people and finally explain his plan to bring back normalcy."

People of Manipur deserve a responsible and competent government: Congress Manipur MP
Congress Manipur MP Dr Angomcha Bimol Akoijam on CM N Biren Singh's resignation, says, "I am not sure if we have officially sent anything regarding the no-confidence motion from our party's side. Whether his resignation is related to it or not, I believe it is primarily because he has lost support within his own party.
When I first heard about it, I didn’t believe it and cross-checked the information. But whatever has happened, the people of Manipur deserve a responsible and competent government that can defend the interests of the state and uphold its dignity. It should not be a government that is a puppet to the bosses in Delhi."
