Mr. Saha mentioned whereas coming from the airport he may see flags and flexes of solely the TMC. This reveals that the TMC doesn’t need to give any democratic house to the opposite Opposition events.
You might not enable BJP flags however the saffron celebration has captured the creativeness of widespread individuals who consider in the event and progress mantra of BJP, the ‘ Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat‘ idea enunciated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Tripura CM mentioned.
“Didi the word of democracy sounds out of place when you utter this word. Everyone knows what is the situation in Bengal. How thousands of BJP karyakartas were attacked, beaten up, their houses looted, and made to flee from homes and how many were murdered and raped after the assembly elections here (in 2021).
“Your regime had solely been marked by clashes, bombing and murders. There has to be an finish to this which will occur. After Tripura, Bengal will be the following State in the area the place this will occur,” Mr. Saha said.

Heavyweight (TMC) politicians, whose swagger and intimidatory ways are used to create an aura of invincibility and worry among the many persons are at present behind bars one after one other caught in massive scams. Small, medium and large fishes are coming to the web because the traits point out. This isn’t a really blissful state of affairs for a State like Bengal which was referred to as the citadel of tradition and progressiveness in the nation.”

“We name it unethical as Congress had borne the brunt of terror and atrocities just like the BJP throughout many years of CPI(M) misrule in Tripura however once more the Congress entered into an understanding with CPI(M) to forestall BJP from coming to power however the folks of Tripura reposed their religion on the development-oriented, clear governance plank of ours,” Mr. Saha said.
Criticising the TMC for politics of appeasement, Mr. Saha said “We do not consider in this politics of division for vote financial institution politics. We consider in inclusiveness the place all communities will be accorded similar significance and advantages and there will be no appeasement.”
On the problem of demand of West Bengal authorities workers demanding increase in dearness allowance, Mr. Saha mentioned his authorities had already elevated DA by a number of factors — which is way increased than the DA given by the West Bengal authorities.
