Trinamool Congress is banking on drug mafias of the state who extend financial help to the party here, said Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Sunday while addressing a public rally at Pratapgarh in Agartala.
Since the elements who had been dealing with the drugs faced the heat after the BJP came to power, they were now putting their weight behind the Trinamool Congress, he maintained.
Deb who began a hectic poll campaign trails for his party candidates held several rallies on Sunday. In the poll campaign he slammed the TMC and also one of his party colleagues- whose name he did not take.
“While TMC is desperate to create a volatile situation in the state one of party leader – a Jaichand-is trying fish in the troubled water”, Deb said. By Jaichand He referred to the infamous traitor of Indian history
A Jaichand like leader seized the opportunity to join BJP in Tripura before the Assembly polls when leaders from different parties were joining the saffron party.
“Even after joining BJP, that leader tried to provide space to Opposition at the Banamalipur Assembly Constituency – however, good sense of people of Banamalipur prevailed who made me victorious with a record vote”, he commented referring to the ‘Joychand’.
After hiding the real face behind the veil, that leader has become active again and helping an unholy political force of other States to gain grounds here.
“Who lodged the case against the 10323 teachers?”, he asked.
He did not spare CPM and Congress – slammed both the parties. He mentioned the Ginger scam during the Left Front regime and said, leaders who were involved in the scam are out again before the Civic Body polls to woo the voters.
He said wrong policies of the previous government pushed a section of the youth to uncertainty who ultimately strayed away to extremism.
“Once, Dumboor was a hotbed of militancy – now the situation has changed drastically due to the pragmatic policies of the incumbent Government. Dumboor has become a major tourist spot now”, Deb said.
During his speech, the Chief Minister referred to the Prime Minister’s ‘Sab Ka Saath, Saab Ka Vikash’ vision and highlighted several welfare schemes including distribution of 1 lakh 48 thousand houses to beneficiaries in a single day.
Commenting on the pre-poll promises of BJP, Deb said most of the promises have been fulfilled and soon the promise of hiking social allowance to Rs 2000 will be met.
