The BJP has failed the people of Manipur, forcing them to become “refugees in their own country”, CPI MP Binoy Viswam alleged on Friday. Viswam reached Manipur on Thursday on a two-day visit as part of a five-member delegation of CPI(M) and CPI MPs to express solidarity with the people of the violence-hit state. In a joint statement issued earlier, the parties said the “claims of the greatest governance through double engine government are now exposed to the marrow of its bones”.
On Friday, Viswam said, “In Manipur, people are forced to become refugees in their own country. In the camps, people were telling the CPI-CPI(M) delegation about the divide-and-rule policy of the rulers. Common people have that insight. The BJP has failed Manipur. They will have to pay the price for this treachery.”
