Undemocratic actions by the BJP-led alliance government in Tripura, like bulldozing of over 100 opposition party offices and attacks on opposition leaders and supporters, are creating anarchy in the state, former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said here on Friday.
"There is a huge crisis of food and jobs in Tripura specially in the hilly and interior areas. Without dealing with the basic crisis, the BJP government is bulldozing opposition party offices.
"The BJP and IPFT cadres are attacking opposition party members and workers daily while the government and police authority remain completely inactive,"the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) politburo member said."Within two weeks of assuming office, the government stopped 33 social pensions introduced by the previous Left Front government that benefited over 4.50 lakh poor."
Sarkar, CPI-M central committee member Bijan Dhar and other Left leaders addressed a three-hour sit-in, a first of its kind agitation programme after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) government assumed office on March 9.
The former Chief Minister urged the government to establish normalcy and resolve the basic problems of the people who, according to the Left leader, are now fear-stricken and panicky."Rule of law has been motivatedly kept in abeyance allowing the ruling party goons to attack opposition party members and workers. The BJP is keen to establish a one party rule in Tripura. No democracy in Tripura now. Democracy has been totally bulldozed."
