1669 Tripura voters join BJP

Agartala, Oct 13: In a massive erosion in Left Front’s vote bank, as many as 1669 voters of 514 families in North Tripura have joined BJP last evening when party’s state president Biplab Kumar Deb was addressing rallies at Jalebasa in Panisagar and Satnala of Kanchanpur. Deb said the joining of CPI-M supporters in BJP was pre-scheduled and they were accepted formally in the party. He accused the LF government in Tripura of poor development. Rubber based industries, gas based and fruit based industries can be set up in the state that has opportunity of huge employment. “ These three things are enough to change the fortune of Tripura. But the leftists do not have any vision rather they are interested to spend money on construction of buildings because it helps to swell their party fund. The younger generation of Tripura has become jobless only because of the government; otherwise, Tripura could have been a hub for employment,” Deb stated. The new comers of BJP alleged that they have been with CPI-M for generation together but every time they were cheated by the leaders and now the families have been in hand to mouth situation due to acute poverty.
