The Congress party charged the ruling BJP with negligence and mismanagement that have prolonged the crisis in Manipur, according to a report in The Hindu.
Manipur continues to grapple with a protracted crisis that has affected its social and administrative fabric. The opposition Congress party has publicly accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of showing callous indifference and gross incompetence, saying these failures have extended the turmoil.
In a statement cited by The Hindu, Congress leaders asserted that the central government's inaction and lack of decisive measures have exacerbated the situation, leaving the people of Manipur without relief. They demanded immediate intervention and a transparent assessment of the administration's response.
The BJP, which holds power at the centre, has not issued a detailed rebuttal to the accusations as of now. Analysts note that the political blame‑game could further polarise opinions ahead of upcoming electoral contests in the state.
The ongoing dispute underscores the fragile security environment in India's northeastern region, prompting calls from civil society for a swift, coordinated effort to restore normalcy.
