NEW DELHI, Nov 21: In the wake of fresh violence in strife-torn Manipur, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Thursday said the people of the state deserve better than “a part-time governor, a failed Chief Minister and a super-failed Union Home Minister”.
The Congress general secretary in-charge of communications said the tenure of former Governor Anusuiya Uikey was curtailed to less than 18 months, and even she was puzzled as to why the Prime Minister did not visit Manipur despite several requests sent to him.
“Since July 31, 2024, Manipur does not have a full-time Governor. The present incumbent spends most of his time in Assam.”
