Amit Shah talks tough on CPI-M, Left in Tripura

The BJP All India President Amit Shah who arrives here at the state on Sunday to address a rally said, "BJP shall go biggest defeat for the ruling CPI-M in Tripura in this ensuing 2018 assembly elections." He talked tough against the Left front government.

Alleging that the state government has failed to work for its people, Amit Shah brought up the issue of high rate of unemployment and inadequate health facilities in Tripura.

He said, "The regime change in Left-ruled Tripura had become inevitable as the incumbent government had failed on many fronts, including combating the crimes against women and unemployment."

Shah warned the Manik Sarkar government in Tripura of taking over power in the upcoming state Assembly elections, saying, “The countdown has begun. BJP will form the govt here in March. Even if the corrupt go underground, BJP will dig the earth and bring them out.”

Alleging that the state government has failed to work for its people, Amit Shah brought up the issue of high rate of unemployment and inadequate health facilities in Tripura. “More than 7 Lakh people, out of the 37 Lakh population of Tripura, are registered under unemployment list. The health facilities here are inadequate. This is what was done here in 25 years,” he said.

He also took on the CPM government for its inaction against those involved in a Chit Fund scam, saying, “The Tripura government is not taking any action against the culprits of chit fund because the entire Cabinet of Manik govt will be behind the bars.”

At BJP’s ‘Vijay Sankalp’ rally in Udaipur town of Tripura, Shah also accused the communist party of exploiting the people. “It’s about time to say goodbye to Red flag and ‘Laal Salaam’. They have exploited people and deprived them of the required assistance and development in the state.”
