“Tripura was known for insurgency and unrest, but Modiji (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) brought peace by signing an agreement with the NLFT outfits,” Amit Shah said.
He added: “Over 37,000 displaced Brus were permanently re-settled and Tripura is progressing.”
“The communists during their 27-year rule didn’t do anything for the tribals and now, just to win the elections, the Left has projected a tribal face as their chief ministerial candidate,” Amit Shah said.
Shah claimed that the opposition parties in Tripura “have realised that none of them would be able to fight against BJP alone and so the CPI-M has tied up with Congress and passively with TIPRA, in a destructive agenda that they followed in the past”.
“Hundreds of Congress workers were killed by communists during their rule, but just to get power, Congress leaders forgot the pain of their workers and the victim families and joined hands with CPI-M. TIPRA came to an understanding with CPI-M and Congress to divide Tripura,” he alleged.
