In Kolkata, West Bengal, TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee commented on the Manipur violence, stating, 'The people of Manipur have given a strong reply to the central government in 2024, and they will do it again. The way the BJP has ignored Manipur and the entire Northeast is something that 1.4 billion Indians have witnessed. The BJP has seen how the people of Manipur taught them a lesson. They should have visited much earlier. The chaos in Manipur has been ongoing for the past 20 months. As Home Minister or as the leader of the country, it is your duty to visit and listen to the people's problems. Just because it is a small state with two Lok Sabha seats, it has been deliberately ignored, which is extremely unfortunate.'
