'''Rajkumar Imo Singh''', also known as '''R.K.Imo Singh''' is an Indian politician from the State of [[Manipur]] and a former member of the [[Indian National Congress]]. He was elected as a member of the [[Manipur Legislative Assembly]] from [[Sagolband(Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Sagolband]] constituency in [[Imphal West District]] from the [[Indian National Congress]] in [[2012 Manipur Legislative Assembly election|2012]] & [[2017 Manipur Legislative Assembly election]]. He is now an Independent/Unattached Member. He is the eldest son of Rajkumar Jaichandra Singh, the first Union Minister from Manipur in the erstwhile ministry of Rajiv Gandhi. He was subsequently deputed as the Chief Minister of the State. His grandfather R.K.Birchandra Singh was the first Congress President of the State of Manipur when Manipur attained statehood. R.K.Imo Singh is also the President of Manipur Cricket Association, affiliated to BCCI.

Despite having a close relationship with the Gandhi family and the higher coterie of AICC, R.K.Imo Singh was not given any responsibility in the AICC, it is believed that he was assured of some form of responsibility over the last 3/4 years. His detractors say that the sole reason for not getting it was due to the fact the he is the son-in-law of the present BJP Chief Minister of Manipur, Nongthombam Biren Singh.

During the 2020 Rajya Sabha Election, he voted for the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] candidate [[Leishemba Sanajaoba]] in Rajya Sabha in 2020 Rajya Sabha elections in Manipur.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/rajkumar-imo-singh-expelled-from-congress-in-manipur/articleshow/77659333.cms|title=Rajkumar Imo Singh expelled from Congress in Manipur|website=The Economic Times|accessdate=1 September 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/congress-expels-manipur-mla-rajkumar-imo-singh-from-party-for-6-years-2282791|title=Congress Expels Manipur MLA From Party For 6 Years|website=The NDTV|accessdate=1 September 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/national/east-and-northeast/congress-expels-mla-rajkumar-imo-singh-from-party-for-six-years-875795.html|title=Congress expels MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh from party for six years|website=Deccan Herald|accessdate=1 September 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://nenow.in/north-east-news/manipur/manipur-congress-expels-mla-raikumar-imo-singh-from-party.htmll|title=Manipur Congress expels MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh from party|website= Northeast Now|accessdate=1 September 2020}}</ref> His relationship with the CLP Leader and Ex CM Okram Ibobi Singh is believed to be one of the factors for his action leading to his voting for the Maharaja of Manipur. His detractors believe that his relationship with the present Chief Minister was the main reason for him going against the party line. He however voted for the Indian National Congress during the vote of confidence in the Manipur Legislative Assembly held in August after the Rajya Sabha Election. R.K.Imo Singh was subsequently expelled from the Congress Party. It is believed that he played a crucial role in making the Six Legislators resign from the Congress Party after the vote of confidence, apart from making two more Congress Legislators abstain the Assembly.

R.K.Imo Singh is a mass based leader, who works closely amongst the people and the electorate. Despite being a young politician, he has been able to carve out a niche for himself by working closely with the masses. His crafty management during the recent crisis in the state politics has won accolades amongst his opponents too. He has friends across party lines in both the BJP and the Congress and now plays an important role in the state politics for providing a stable government.
