After the resignation of 3 MLAs and 4 MLAs disqualified under the anti-defection law, there are now 53 MLAs left in the Assembly, with BJP and Congress issuing a whip to their MLAs to stay in the Assembly.

Former Chief Minister of Manipur and Leader of the Opposition, Ibobi Singh, has termed the gaining of the government's trust as a murder of democracy.
