The Manipur Congress has stepped up its attack on both the state government and the Centre, criticizing the continued delay in expanding the state cabinet. The opposition has framed the hold-up as a sign of political uncertainty and weak governance, while using the issue to question the BJP’s handling of administration in the state.
Manipur Congress chief Okram Ibobi Singh also targeted the BJP over exam paper leak controversies, pointing to the NEET paper leak and describing it as part of a wider pattern. He argued that repeated breaches in major examinations have damaged public trust and raised serious concerns about accountability in the education system.
Linking the controversy to the Centre, Singh urged the resignation of the Union Education Minister. His remarks underline the Congress effort to turn the exam leak issue into a broader political challenge for the BJP, especially at a time when questions are being raised over governance, transparency and institutional credibility.
Taken together, the cabinet expansion delay and the exam leak allegations have given the Congress fresh grounds to criticize the ruling party at both the state and national levels. The party’s message is centered on administrative failure, delayed decision-making and what it sees as an inability to prevent repeated lapses in crucial public systems.
