Congress Leader Criticizes BJP Governments Over Governance and Education Issues in ManipurPreviousNext

Former Manipur Chief Minister and Congress leader Okram Ibobi Singh criticized the BJP-led governments at both the Centre and Manipur for administrative shortcomings. He highlighted the delayed expansion of Manipur's council of ministers, with Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh managing around 20 departments and no dedicated Education Minister appointed. Ibobi also raised concerns over recurring examination paper leaks, law and order issues, and called for accountability ahead of the state's upcoming assembly elections.
