A joint meeting was held at Dakshin Paharpur Gram Panchayat of 23 Dhanpur Assembly constituency on Wednesday morning at the initiative of Trinamool Congress. Minority President of Tripura State Trinamool Congress Zahirul Islam was present.
At that meeting, 50 families from the ruling party, Congress and CPM left their party and 175 voters joined the Trinamool Congress. The grassroots leadership said that in the next few days, organizational work will be started for the growth of the party.
On other hand, not being attracted to other parties, this time 450 people from 150 families left the BJP party out of anger towards their own party. The incident took place in Biswas Para area of East Gakulnagar Gram Panchayat of Kamalasagar Assembly on Wednesday morning. They range from the BJP's Mandal leader to the booth president. The allegation of the defectors is that the common people of East Gakulnagar area are uneasy about the harassment of the youth front.
In an abandoned house in the area, a gathering of wine and flies is being held at noon. The people of the area reported the incident to the upper house several times but no action was taken against them. The environment of the area has been poisoned by Diptanu Das, the district president of the Youth Morcha, and his associate Vijay Biswas, known as the terror of the area, and Amrit Malakar, another trafficker from the Kamalasagar area.
When the locals protested, a group of bikers led by Diptanu Das, president of the Youth Morcha, broke into the house of a family in the area last night, beat them up and looted money and gold chains. The whole area sucks until late at night. This morning, finding no way out, the people of the area became angry and decided to leave the BJP.
