Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday addressed an election rally in Manipur's Imphal, where he took on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not consulting Manipuri people while deciding on the Naga Accord. Attacking PM Modi, Rahul said,
"PM Modi didn't even talk to Okram Ibobi. No minister knew about what is there in Naga Accord, everything was in PM Modi's mind. You must ask Modiji, when the Naga Accord was made, why were Manipuri people not consulted or spoken to?"
