Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently held a rally in the state where he launched a blistering attack at the Congress government. "Manipur has been destroyed, who's responsible... The chief minister here has been sitting in Manipur for 15 years. Manipur is considered as the Switzerland of East. But do you see any development, employment for youth?" the PM had said during his rally in Imphal.
PM Modi also accused Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh of trying to divide the people of the state. "There has been no work done. All the government has done is pit one community against the other and get benefit from it. This should end now. All communities spread across the state should be equally benefitted," he added.
Elections in the state are slated for March 4 and 8.
