Imphal, November 09 2026: The Congress party has accused the BJP Government of attempting to evade responsibility for its failure to resolve the crisis in Manipur by levelling baseless allegations against the grand old party.

Speaking to the media at Congress Bhavan today, Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) general secretary-cum-spokesperson P Bankimchandra said that BJP MLA Th Radheshyam taking the name of Congress leader Okram Ibobi while criticising their own MLA and former Chief Minister N Biren Singh is unacceptable.

He claimed that the BJP Government has been blaming the Congress party for its failure to restore normalcy in the State.

Stating that the crisis in Manipur continues unabated, he alleged that the BJP, however, hasn't made any sincere effort to end the conflict between different communities.

Manipur is in a state of disaster, with law enforcement agencies failing to discharge their duties efficiently, he charged.

He further said that the Heirok AC MLA seeking suggestions to end the crisis while acting as a Government spokesperson reflects his lack of awareness of the issue, despite Manipur having been in turmoil since May 3, 2023 .

Bankimchandra accused the BJP Government of engaging in a blame game to evade responsibility of protecting lives and properties.

He further said that the Congress party had submitted suggestions to the Governor and the State Government to resolve the crisis on different occasions.

He claimed that the BJP, however, did not take the suggestions seriously.

It is unfortunate for the saffron party to repeatedly blame the Congress, which has only five MLAs, for its failure to build public confidence and restore normalcy in the State, Bankimchandra said.

The press briefing was attended by different MPCC office bearers.
