As per news report of NDTV,Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has accused earlier union governments - specifically those led by the Congress, though he did not mention the party - of neglecting the northeastern state and its concerns over the 390-km long border with Myanmar. The Chief Minister argued that this neglect had led to the ethnic violence between the Metei and Kuki-Zo tribes in May last year, in which 175 people were killed.
