Agartala, Mar 26: While appreciating the speech of Governor in maiden session of 12th Tripura
assembly last week visioning the development plan of BJP-IPFT government in
Tripura for next five years, leader of the opposition Manik Sarkar today urged
the chief minister to stop atrocities on CPI(M) leaders and workers.
Sarkar said the vision, which has been projected in the
Governor’s speech was quite impressive but the internal law and order situation
of the state was deteriorating after announcement of the election result on
March 3 last.
“Hundreds of our party offices were ransacked, burnt down and destroyed by BJP supporters. A large number of party workers were assaulted, houses and family members were attacked and many are still in the hospitals. A few hundred of CPI(M) workers could not stay at home following continuous threat and intimidation, which has fade the visionary speech of the Governor,” Sarkar stated in the house.
He alleged that locally some BJP workers have been levied a hefty amount on the CPI(M) supporters after the election result. This is not only confined among the CPI(M) supporters, even some businessmen and professionals were also demanded to pay money for the victory celebration of BJP, Sarkar alleged.
“My appeal to the government to prevent such elements in iron hand, otherwise the people who have voted you to power they will be frustrated and the development agenda what you set at the beginning cannot be implemented properly. The chief minister must take step to restore normalcy and cohesive relation among the people irrespective of political affiliations,” Sarkar urged.
He also mentioned that opposition would be with the government to implement the commitments of the new government for development of Tripura and added, “It is good for Tripura that the same party ruling both centre and the state and Prime Minister promised to help the state government for further development. We are ready to extend all support and cooperation to the government.”
Initiating the discussion to the motion of thanks to the Governor, Parliamentary affairs minister Ratan Lal Nath stated that the governor’s speech reflected a blue-print for the people-friendly and transparent government.
“A pithy slogan of ‘Chalo Paltai’ found a massive resonance in the minds of the people and led to a stunning change of government; in West Bengal the change of 2011 had been foreseen from 2008 with the Panchayet election results but in Tripura the outcome of the assembly polls is sudden and abrupt,” he said.
Lashing out at the CPI(M)’s allegations of post-poll violence Nath said that but for repeated appeals made by the chief minister and other senior BJP leaders and minister for calm and peace, there would have been a blood-bath in the state because of the perfidies and politics of murder in the state over the past twenty five years.
After each and every assembly election from 1993 to 2013 there was a blood bath, large-scale arson, displacement of people and countless rape but nobody was punished because of the culture of impunity followed and practiced by CPI(M) but there is no major incident reported after new government came in power barring a few mischief by some anti-social elements, which the government dealt with strongly, he claimed.
“Whatever few incidents were reported after the election result all had been with CPI(M) and once BJP won the election they changed their colours and restored to violence to malign the government. We have identified all of them and police was asked to take exemplary action against them,” Nath added. UNI
