Chaudhury expressed concern about the desperate situations some Tripura residents are facing, stating, “The people of Tripura are now witnessing mothers selling their children, resorting to self-harm by consuming poison due to a lack of food for their children. Meanwhile, the chief minister and his council of ministers are spending money extravagantly, as if it were their personal wealth.”
He accused the BJP in the state of attempting to stir religious conflict, particularly with Christians, for political purposes. Chaudhury also highlighted the lack of good governance, citing issues such as hospitals without medicine or doctors.
