Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday claimed that “corruption” and “unabated violence” have transformed West Bengal into a “mini-Pakistan.”

“Uncontrolled corruption and unabated violence have turned West Bengal into a mini-Pakistan. In the recent Assembly and Lok Sabha polls, the BJP has won Odisha. In the future, the BJP-led NDA will also come to power in West Bengal and Kerala,” Saha said during an event marking Shyama Prasad Mukherjee’s 124th birth anniversary, organized by the BJP.

The Chief Minister emphasized the public’s desire for corruption and violence-free governance, stating that such a government would have longevity. He noted that the people of Tripura were eager to escape the Congress-led coalition government and the long-standing Communist rule.

He highlighted that the BJP met the people’s aspirations by defeating the CPI (M)-led Left parties in the 2018 assembly polls.

“We will govern Tripura with complete transparency, similar to how Prime Minister Narendra Modi is running the country,” Saha asserted.
