CPIM’s Manik Sarkar says Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma is a fraud.

Agartala: As Assembly elections are knocking in Tripura, the war of words between political parties in the state has intensified.

Former Tripura Chief Minister and CPI-M leader Manik Sarkar on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the ruling BJP in the state.
Criticizing the BJP, senior CPI-M leader Manik Sarkar called Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma a ‘fraud’.

“BJP is lying ahead of assembly elections. They bring in people from out of state when they fix themselves. The best example of this is Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma,” said former Tripura Chief Minister and CPI-M leader Manik Sarkar.
The government added: “Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is a fraud. Before the 2018 Tripura Assembly elections, he had falsely promised civil servants that the Seventh Pay Commission would be implemented in the state after the first cabinet meeting.” .The former Chief Minister of Tripura made this statement while addressing a program of the women’s wing of the CPI-M party on Sunday.

Manik Sarkar added that all the people of Tripura, who are disillusioned with the current BJP system, will not necessarily vote for the CPI-M in the 2023 assembly elections in the state.
He added that the people of Tripura were “disappointed and angry” with the BJP-IPFT government in the state.

“People are disappointed and angry with BJP. IPFT has lost its hold in the tribal areas of Tripura since 2018,” said Manik Sarkar.

He said: “However, this does not mean that all disgruntled voters will support the CPI-M-led Left Front in the 2023 Tripura Assembly elections.”
