The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued 
the following statement:

President’s Rule Underlines Bankruptcy of Double Engine Government

The imposition of President’s Rule in Manipur underlines the utter 
bankruptcy of the BJP double engine government under whose rule the 
state has been in violent turmoil for two years. President’s Rule has 
been imposed not in the interests of Manipur but to buy time to settle 
the internal conflicts within the ruling coalition. The Chief Minister, 
the main culprit, who was backed all along by the BJP-RSS was forced to 
resign because his partisan role was being examined by a court where 
evidence was presented of his sectarian partisan role  which left him 
with no choice but to quit.

In all these developments, the central leadership of the ruling party 
and the central government refused to take the required action to 
alleviate the deep suffering inflicted on the people of Manipur 
symbolised by the Prime Minister’s callous refusal to even visit the 
troubled state. This exposes the sectarian approach of the ruling party 
and the state and central government it heads, which put its own 
political interests above that of the state and its people.

President’s Rule is no solution. However, now the central government 
cannot escape its responsibility. It must immediately initiate measures 
to heal the deep divisions through negotiations with representatives of 
different communities, taking all political parties into confidence to 
arrive at just solutions to bring normalcy, peace and harmony while 
protecting the democratic rights of the people of the state, including 
the holding of elections within a time framework.
