Imphal, November 14 2026: Observing that the situation in Manipur has been worsening day by day, AICC Manipur in-charge Christopher Tilak has blamed the BJP Governments of the Centre and the State for the sorry state of affairs prevailing in Manipur.

Speaking to media persons at Congress Bhavan, BT Road here this afternoon, Christopher Tilak said that the current situation of Manipur is a machination of the BJP Governments at the Centre and the State.

Fresh violence and killings were reported on November 13 and the violence will go but the Government is unlikely to give due attention, he said.

10 years back, Manipur was a peaceful State, its economy was growing but it was emerging as a popular tourism destination.

With the BJP Government pursuing an agenda of drug trafficking, Manipur has been pushed into chaos and large-scale violence during the last four years, the AICC Manipur in-charge remarked.

Taking serious note of the prevailing situation, the Congress party has begun discussions on the future of Manipur, he said.

During the first round of talks with the party's student wing, the issue of ensuring uninterrupted education to students of Manipur was discussed at length, he said.

Repeated targeting of farmers and agricultural workers has cost dearly to the State.

At the same time, women feel highly insecure and they fear the worst, Christopher Tilak said.

He asserted that the people of Manipur should fight for their rights, and the Centre must address the Manipur issue without any further delay.

Expressing apprehension that the Manipur Legislative Assembly elections may not be held on time, the AICC Manipur in-charge said BJP is doubtful of getting public support on account of the protracted violence and as such they intend to defer the Manipur election.

The people of Manipur should take a collective decision to see that the elections are held on time and a new Government is installed, he added.
