Rahul Gandhi's Controversial Visit to Manipur: Aerial Escape and Political Backlash

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi faced drama and confrontation during his visit to Manipur, as police barricaded a highway to prevent him from traveling by road to Churachandpur. After a stand-off, Rahul took a helicopter to Churachandpur, where he visited a relief camp and interacted with displaced families. Inclement weather cut short his trip, and he had to return to Imphal. The BJP accused Rahul of being stubborn and triggering chaos, while the Congress criticized the government for obstructing his visit. Congress has been demanding President's rule in Manipur, alleging the failure of the BJP-led government to address the violence.
