N Biren Singh's Net Worth: How Rich Is Outgoing Manipur Chief Minister?

Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh has resigned from his position in an effort to curb internal dissent within the state BJP as his government faces the prospect of a Congress-led no-confidence motion and a possible floor test. The resignation was submitted to the Governor earlier today.

Despite the BJP's numerical advantage, the withdrawal of support by ally Conrad Sangma's National People's Party (NPP) had raised concerns about party unity. Reports suggested that several BJP MLAs pushing for a leadership change might have defied the party whip if a floor test had taken place, further destabilizing the government.
