Failed in meeting people's expectations: Biren Singh on BJP's defeat in Manipur

Following electoral debacle in Lok Sabha polls in Manipur, Chief Minister N Biren Singh acknowledged that the state and the Centre have not met the 'expectations' of the public in the north-eastern state, which was reflected in his party's defeat.

This was the first election that Singh and the BJP faced after the ethnic violence broke out in the state a year ago in May 2023.

In an interview to The Indian Express on June 9, Biren said it was time for him to work with 'even more conviction'.

The Congress won both Lok Sabha seats beating BJP and its ally on June 4.
