Keisham Meghachandra Critiques 'Paper Tiger' Government in Manipur

Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee president Keisham Meghachandra accused the N Biren Singh government of being a 'paper tiger' and alleged that an undeclared president's rule prevails in the state. He criticized the government's failure to control law and order, claiming it is the weakest administration in Manipur's history.

Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Keisham Meghachandra has leveled serious allegations against the N Biren Singh government, calling it a 'paper tiger' and asserting that there is an undeclared 'president's rule' in the state.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Meghachandra described the administration as the weakest in Manipur's political history. 'When the advanced security convoy of the Chief Minister was ambushed last month, the state government failed to take control,' he said. 'We are witnessing a system of undeclared president's rule. This is 99.9 per cent correct. The only thing is the Central government has not formally declared the imposition of article 355.'

He further criticized the administration's general performance, mentioning that not just law and order but other departments are also dysfunctional. 'Earlier, we waited for two-three months so that the government could be in a position to deal with the prevailing situation and take control. Now it's been fourteen months and we are wondering how many more months we have to wait,' Meghachandra added. He also thanked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for raising the Manipur issue in Parliament.
