Leader of the opposition Manik Sarkar today lashed out at the central government claiming that the Centre was trying to curb the rights of SC/ST and underprivileged sections of the party. Speaking at a party rally, here in Agartala city he said, the ruling party has forgotten it’s own promises.
“People of Tripura know as to how the Left ruled the state despite limited powers. The BJP come to power in the last assembly elections as they succeeded to allure people. Despite knowing the fact that Left front is the only party that made Tripura reach where it standing right now, people consciously voted for BJP believing their pre-poll promises”, said Manik.
The 4 time Chief Minister also alleged that the present government was wasting time in mere festivals like Pujas, Yajnas etc. instead of focusing on the real issues.
“What the underprivileged section wants. Stipend for the children, subsidies and other related welfare that they are entitled to. These are all that has been promised by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party before the elections”, Manik charged.
Launching a scathing attack on Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, he said, the head of the state can be seen boarded in helicopters roaming one part to the other part of the state, taking meals at the residences of the people who are in the good books and etc. but he has no initiative to address the needy, Manik claimed.
Challenging the ruling government he said that now people of Tripura had realized that they had committed a mistake in the last assembly election.
Notably, party’s SC wing has placed a 15 point chartered of demand which mainly emphasizes on the development of SC community people.
