Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has “failed to uphold Rajdharma” in strife-torn Manipur, which he has not visited even once in the last two years. The Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha said “Manipur observed two years of violence without the Prime Minister setting foot on its soil”.
Kharge said the northeastern state “awaits your (PM’s) presence and return of peace and normalcy”, and asked the PM a set of “pointed questions”.
“Since January 2022, your last election rally in Manipur, you have made 44 foreign visits around the globe and 250 domestic visits across the nation, yet you have not spent a single second in Manipur…Where is the political accountability?” asked Kharge.
At a press conference at the AICC office in Delhi, the Congress demanded polls be announced in Manipur, so that a people’s government can be formed there.
