The BJP’s sole agenda in the no-trust motion debate was to outmaneuver Congress, dredging up past violent incidents. Amit Shah and Smriti Irani’s impassioned speeches portrayed Manipur unrealistically. They belittled present violence against past Congress-era riots. This shrewd tactic aims to evade blame for Manipur’s plight. Reality is, Manipur is in turmoil while the ruling party smugly thinks it’s outsmarted Congress with acerbic taunts.
