Speaking on the KPA withdrawing support from the state government. Haokip said that Chief Minister N Biren Singh has openly denounced the Kukis as a terrorist group.
"The situation now has changed because the present government is anti-Kuki people. Even the CM himself has openly denounced the Kukis as a terrorist group, narco-terrorists and outsider or foreigner and also poppy cultivators and drug smugglers and whatnot... In this situation, we have no way out other than withdrawing our support from the present government," Tongmang Haokip said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
Earlier on Sunday, the KPA withdrew its support to the Manipur CM Biren Singh’s government. Tongmang Haokip on Sunday wrote a letter to Manipur governor Anusuiya Uikey to inform her about the party withdrawing its support to the incumbent government.
"After careful consideration of the current conflagration, the continued support for the incumbent government of Manipur led by Chief Minister N Biren Singh is no longer fructuous. Accordingly, the support of the KPA to the Government of Manipur is hereby withdrawn and can be considered null and void," the letter read, as quoted by ANI.
The Kuki People’s Alliance (KPA) had two MLAs lending support to the BJP government led by Biren Singh. While the BJP has 37 MLAs in the current government, it has the support of five MLAs from the Naga People's Front (NPF), seven MLAs from the National People's Party (NPP) along with the backing of three independent legislators.
