Manipur has experienced President’s Rule (under Article 356) more times than any other state in India since the commencement of the Constitution.

President’s Rule is the suspension of state government and imposition of direct central government rule in a state, invoked in a situation where a state government is unable to function according to constitutional provisions. It is provided for under Article 356 of the Constitution.

States like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, and Manipur have seen numerous instances of President’s Rule. Historically, Manipur has been under President’s Rule nine or ten times, which is frequently cited as the highest number. Exact counts can vary slightly depending on how short periods are counted or merged, but Manipur consistently ranks highest.
