Modi govt’s incompetence exposed in Manipur crisis
New Delhi: The Modi government’s failure to effectively address the ongoing crisis in Manipur has come under sharp scrutiny after a significant delay in imposing President’s Rule in the state.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the crisis in the northeastern state intensified after N Biren Singh resigned as Chief Minister. However, the central government took four days to impose President’s Rule, raising serious questions about its ability to respond swiftly and decisively to the situation. This marks the 11th time that President’s Rule has been imposed in Manipur.
Experts argue that the delay in imposing President’s Rule exposed the government’s inability to stabilize the region. By waiting several days after Singh’s resignation, unrest in Manipur festered, further straining an already volatile situation.
“The imposition of President’s Rule in Manipur is a belated admission by the BJP of their complete inability to govern the state,” said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on social media.
Political analysts have also weighed in, with one remarking, “The government’s incompetence is now glaring. The delay not only undermined efforts to restore order but also sent a message that internal conflicts were being treated with disregard. The suffering of citizens during this period is inexcusable.”
The delay was compounded by the state BJP’s inability to reach a consensus on a new Chief Minister, leaving the assembly unable to convene. The gap in convening the assembly posed a constitutional issue, as the state was approaching the maximum six-month period allowed for reconvening after its last sitting.
The prolonged inaction has raised concerns about the central government’s failure to manage internal conflicts and restore law and order. Citizens across Manipur have expressed feelings of abandonment as governance in the state deteriorated.
Opposition parties and social activists have condemned the central government’s delayed response, calling for urgent reforms to prevent future crises.
