President's rule imposed due to BJP government's incompetence: Congress.
The Congress on Friday criticized the imposition of the President's rule in Manipur, alleging that the move was taken mainly due to the incompetence of the BJP government in the state. Congress' Manipur unit vice-president Hareshwar Goswami told reporters that the President's rule was imposed in the state even though the BJP had an absolute majority in the Assembly. "This is very unfortunate as the BJP is in power at the Centre and the state government was also being run by the same party. This is mainly due to the incompetence of the BJP government in the state," he alleged. Five people including a militant arrested in two districts
