Deb’s statement came at a time when AICC president Rahul Gandhi was addressing a public rally at Khumlung, located about 20 kms from Pratapgarh.
Deb said that the Left rule in Tripura would have ended in 2013 had the Congress leaders campaigned well in the state.
“Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had cancelled their scheduled visit to Tripura in the last moment to make sure the Left remains in power in the state. The Congress played politics at the cost of the innocent party workers,” said Deb.
