Party leaders alleged that the government has failed to fill vacant ministerial positions despite being in office.
Congress' Allegations
According to the Congress:
The delay reflects a lack of political consensus within the ruling alliance.
An expanded cabinet is needed for better governance.
Key departments require full-time ministerial leadership.
The government should clarify its plans regarding cabinet expansion.
These statements represent the Opposition's political criticism.
BJP's Position
The BJP-led government has not publicly announced a schedule for expanding the Council of Ministers.
The party has maintained that decisions regarding cabinet formation and expansion are taken after consultations within the government and the ruling alliance.
Political Context
Cabinet expansion has been the subject of political speculation in Manipur, particularly as the state continues to address governance and administrative challenges.
The issue has also become a point of debate between the ruling party and the Opposition.
Looking Ahead
