NEW DELHI: Congress on Tuesday launched an all out attack at the BJP-led Union government over the ongoing crisis in Manipur, point at the disarray within the BJP-led NDA in the state. He announced that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge would soon write to President Droupadi Murmu regarding the worsening situation, urging immediate action. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh alleged that the meeting called by Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh for NDA MLAs had exposed deep cracks within the alliance.
“Of the state’s 60 MLAs, only 26 attended. Among these, four belong to the National People’s Party (NPP), whose president has already formally withdrawn support for the CM. The writing on the wall is clear,” Ramesh posted on X.
"But is the grand sutradhar of Manipur - the Union home minister, to whom the PM has abdicated and outsourced all responsibility for the state - reading it? How long will the excruciating agony of the people of Manipur continue like this?" Ramesh wrote. The Congress MP further alleged that the signatures of three MLAs supposedly present at the meeting were forged, reducing the actual attendance to just 24, including the chief minister himself. Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam also voiced his concerns, saying, “The situation in Manipur is dire.
The government’s negligence and lack of decisive action have worsened matters. Thousands of troops are deployed, but political will and sincerity are missing. These are the fundamental issues.
