He also expressed resentment over the deteriorating law and order situation, citing incidents of mob lynching allegedly involving members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

He further claimed that the Tripura government was denying employment opportunities to the local unemployed youths.
Deb specifically highlighted the non-mandatory implementation of the Professional Reservation for Tripura Candidates (PRTC) in state government jobs.
As a result, jobs that should rightfully go to the youth of Tripura were being awarded to candidates from outside the state.
The protesters demanded that the government prioritize job creation for the state’s youth and ensure permanent employment opportunities for the unemployed.
