AFTER fresh violence erupted in Manipur, the Congress on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of failing to uphold "rajdharma" and taking responsibility for the ongoing unrest.
PREETHA NAIR @ New Delhi

In a post on X, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that the BJP had some vested interest in keeping the state on the boil.

"The BJP is the matchstick which burnt Manipur," he said in his post, sharing a screen grab of a news report about the latest violence.

The Congress chief said, "Narendra Modi ji, your last visit to Manipur was for seeking votes for the BJP, way back in January 2022. Violence erupted in the state on May 3, 2023. More than 600 days have passed, and media reports through satellite images have now revealed that village after village have been wiped off."
