The Congress party, on June 30, criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not visiting conflict-hit Manipur, a year after Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s dramatic resignation episode. Party leader Jairam Ramesh highlighted ongoing ethnic tensions in Manipur, where violence erupted last year over demands for Scheduled Tribes status. Ramesh accused PM Modi of neglecting Manipur’s plight, stating he prioritizes other issues over engaging with elected representatives. Despite the Congress winning both Manipur seats in recent elections, ethnic clashes have claimed over 220 lives, prompting concerns over governance under the BJP-led state government since 2017.
