Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh has publicly targeted opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, blaming him for the dismissal of Congress MP Bimol Akoijam from Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Biren Singh, the Chief Minister of Manipur, has publicly targeted opposition leader Rahul Gandhi in a statement that links the dismissal of Congress MP Bimol Akoijam from Jawaharlal Nehru University to Gandhi’s influence.
The dismissal of Akoijam, a sitting Member of Parliament, from the university’s student body has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it was politically motivated.
In his remarks, Singh accused Gandhi of orchestrating the move, claiming that the central leadership was using the university as a political tool.
The comments come amid growing tensions between the ruling party in Manipur and the opposition, and could further inflame already strained political relations across the country.
