“What have you people (previous Left government) given to Tripura. In the 25 years of rule, you have given free hands to drug traffickers to ruin the future of this country. Had I been the chief minister for such a long period, I would have not let a single pouch of drug enter Tripura,” said CM Biplab Deb. 

Deb further added that he would never go for a compromise with drug dealers for electoral gains.  

“I will never go for a compromise with the drug dealers for electoral gains putting the future of our next generation at stake,” the Tripura chief minister added.
