Rijiju said, Tripura will grow to new heights if BJP wins

AGARTALA: Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday said that Tripura’s development will touch a new high if the BJP returns to power in the northeastern state.

Assembly elections are going to be held in Tripura this year.
The BJP, once a weak organization in the Northeast, has become a strong force in the region. Ever since Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, the saffron party has stepped up development activities, he said during the ‘Jan Biswas’ rally (Rath Yatra) at Charilam in Sepahijala district.

Rijiju said that the Congress has ruled the Northeast for many years but its leaders have not given proper priority to the region.
Modi ji in his first cabinet meeting emphasized on giving priority to North Eastern states when any scheme is launched. Now, the North-East is getting proper attention from the Central Government which has resulted in the speed of improvement in development work”, he said.

“The Left ruled Tripura for many years but saw no progress during its rule. The wheels of development began to spin at a faster pace when the BJP formed the government in Tripura after the 2018 assembly elections…”, They said.
Asserting that peace has returned to the entire Northeast including Tripura after many years, Rijiju claimed that the foundation of development in the state was laid by the BJP government in Tripura in the last four-and-a-half years and if the party Tripura Govt if re-voted. Growth will touch a new high.
Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendhu Adhikari, also addressed the rally and urged people to keep distance from the two parties – CPI(M) and Trinamool Congress.
Criticizing the CPI(M), Adhikari said the party, which worships Lenin and Marx, has already bowed due to terror tactics in West Bengal. “I have seen the terror spread by the CPI(M) from Taljala incident to Nandigram massacre and Netai murder. CPI(M) is a dangerous party. Now, it is trying to join the Congress, which has become a signboard-centric party. Do not vote for him in the next election.
Adhikari also took a jibe at the Trinamool Congress saying that ‘Bhaipo’ has opened a shop in Tripura keeping in view the elections. “Please keep distance from these parties and take advantage of the twin engine government as one engine is not strong enough to take the state on the path of development”, he said.
