The imposition of President's rule in Manipur has ignited controversy among political parties. The ruling Trinamool Congress and the Congress have criticized the move as overdue and accuse the BJP-led central government of undermining democracy in the northeastern state.

President's rule was enforced following the resignation of Chief Minister N Biren Singh, creating political instability. TMC spokesperson Joy Prakash Majumdar lashed out at Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah for mismanagement, attributing ethnic violence and uncertainty to their actions.

While detractors point fingers at the BJP for 'killing democracy', the party's spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya claims that President's rule will pave the way for peace and development. The issue continues to remain contentious, reflecting the deep-seated political divide in the region.
