“There is no democracy left in Tripura. People are suffocating,” Barman said.
Meanwhile, MLA Ashish Saha said that the people of Tripura did not reap any benefits from the ruling BJP government.
“After power in the state was wrested from the Left, people were expecting to reap benefits from the government. But nothing happened,” Saha said.
He added: “Common people are angry. And, their anger is increasing with every single passing day. This anger will be reflected in the elections.”
Sudip Roy Barman and Asish Saha have been touring different parts of the state for the last few days to interact with people “who had played a key role in dethroning the Left in 2018”.
