Agartala (Tripura) [India], April 5 (HBTV): Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has criticized the Communist Party of India (CPI-Marxist) allegedly for creating divisions among people and ‘unleashing fear’ across the state during their rule in the state. 

Saha said this while addressing a massive election campaign on Thursday organized in support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the West Lok Sabha constituency, Biplap Kumar Deb.  

During the program, approximately 255 people from 67 families joined the BJP. 

‘Our target is to win over 400 seats with the NDA (Nationalist Democratic Alliance), and with this goal, the BJP is working diligently,’ he said.                  

‘People are enthusiastically supporting us and joining our rallies. The leaders who have come here from outside the state have already stated that the crowd at the nomination filing ceremony has already indicated what will happen on June 4th.’  

Slamming the CPIM for its alleged misrule, Saha said, ‘BJP always thinks for everyone, while CPIM did politics of divide and rule. They have created divisions among tribal and non-tribal. When the BJP formed the government in 2018, we worked to maintain law and order in this state.’ 

‘Our main aim is the establishment of peace. During the CPIM's rule, many people were martyred. They unleashed a fear psychosis. They are responsible for the misrule in the state. We have established peace in this state,’ Saha said.  

The 2024 Indian general election in Tripura will be held in two phases, on April 19 and the 26th to elect two members to the 18th Lok Sabha.
