For too long, Manipur has been spoiled, beyond redemption, by contractors – turned politicians – turned contractors. For too long, Manipur has been duped by overnight ‘social workers’. For too long, Manipur has been tricked by chameleons who, at the slightest opportunity, hop from one party to another, without an iota of concern for the general public. For too long, Manipur has been taken for a long ride by persons with muscle and money powers.
