Manipur situation was worse during UPA rule: Assam CM

Taking to the microblogging site on Saturday, Mr. Sarma slammed Congress for “suddenly displaying immense interest in Manipur” and said it was important to rewind and look at Mr. Singh’s own response to similar crises in the northeastern State.

He reminded that during Congress rule from 2010 to 2017, Manipur experienced highway blockades ranging from 30 days to up to 139 days a year. Petrol and LPG prices went up to ₹240 a litre and ₹1,900 per cylinder during each of these blockades, translating into a complete humanitarian crisis, he said.
