Manipur Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh will face floor test in the 60-member Manipur Assembly today. The first budget session will start on Tuesday with the governor's address, the draft of which was approved by the first state cabinet convened on Friday.
On the other hand, various civil bodies and NGOs have demanded that the BJP leadership, particularly chief minister Nongthombam Biren Singh, fill up three vacant cabinet berths from among the MLAs of their respective constituencies and districts. So far, nine ministers have been inducted in the 12-member cabinet council. They include two from BJP, including the chief minister, four from National People's Party and one each from Lok Janshakti Party, opposition Congress and Naga People's Front.
