High time, PM Modi sacks  BJP’s incompetent Manipur CM: Congress President

Attacking the BJP Governments at the Centre and the State of Manipur, the President of Indian National Congress, Malikarjun Kharge, on Wednesday demanded the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sack the incompetent Chief Minister N. Biren Singh.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the Congress President  said, "High time, PM Modi sacks BJP's incompetent Manipur Chief Minister. This would be the first step to control any further turmoil."

The Congress party has been attacking the BJP government over the violence in Manipur. Kharge stated that the beautiful state of Manipur has been turned into a battlefield, all because of BJP.

“For 147 days, people of Manipur are suffering, but PM Modi does not have time to visit the State. The horrific images of students being targeted in this violence have once again shocked the entire nation."

The Congress President said it is now apparent that violence against women and children was weaponized in the strife and turned into a battlefield due to incompetence and misgovernance of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Former Finance Minister of India and Congress leader, P. Chidambaram, said the situation has gone from bad to worse in Manipur and that no section of the people has confidence in the BJP state government or the Chief Minister.

Chidambaram said, “In fact, the CM is the problem because of his incompetence and bias. The first step toward restoring normalcy in Manipur is to remove the government and the Chief Minister.”

Chidambaram added that he had learned about 2000 Meiteis staying in Senapati District were forcibly driven out the district. Ethnic cleansing has spread from the capital to the districts whether they are dominated by the Meiteis or the Kukis.

"The centre government has switched off Manipur. It may have even lost count that 145 days have passed since the cycle of violence started on,” he said.
