Meanwhile, the Congress party asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to personally take responsibility for the current crisis in Manipur. The request came following the Centre's move to declare President's Rule in the troubled state after the Centre acknowledged the worsening ground situation.
Manipur Congress President Keisham Meghachandra credited the Centre's decision to the deteriorating law-and-order situation and the inability of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to seal a consensus candidate for the Chief Minister's position.
