2 years of Manipur conflict—Congress demands fresh elections, says President’s Rule no solution

New Delhi: The Congress Saturday demanded fresh elections in Manipur, where ethnic violence erupted two years ago to the day, saying the imposition of President’s rule has failed to resolve the crisis and only a democratically-elected government can restore order in the state.

Addressing a press conference at the Congress headquarters in New Delhi, the party’s Manipur unit chief and MLA Keisham Meghachandra Singh said the people of the state would welcome a fresh mandate, as the BJP governments— bo...
