Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb once again alerted people of the state agaisnt the ‘nefarious design of the Communists to create communal division and tension’ in the state. The Chief Minister was addressing a party programme at Gokulnagar under Kamalasagar constituency.
“The communists led by Manik Sarkar had attempted to create riot by instigating the Muslim brothers at Dhanpur. But, no one can cite any instance of communalism during the three and half years tenure of the BJP government,” he said, adding that the people had already witnessed the conspiracy and they need to stay alert.
Addressing the huge rally, Deb said, “11 BJP Karyakartas were killed by the communists in 2017. Birlal Sarkar of Kamalasagar, Tulu Majuder of Kailashahar, Sunil Deb of Dasda, Gourhari Molsom of Killa, Chanmohan Tripura of Gandacherra and Nishikanta Chakma of Chailengta were among them.”
He said the party stood by the side of such families. In reference to the political murders, Deb said that the law and order situation had now improved.
As many as 3585 voters from 938 families joined the saffron brigade in the joining rally on Wednesday. BJP state president Dr. Manik Saha and other local leaders were present.
He said the spontaneous response among the people present in the rally indicated that the government was functioning in the right direction.
“There was no hope among the people for around 40 years of communist rule. The people didn’t even have freedom of speech. But, our government is committed to the people and they have expectations from the government,” Deb said.
The rally registered a massive gathering; specially the presence of women and youth was noticeable. Referring to this, an overwhelmed Deb said that the presence of so many people indicated that the party base was strengthening further and the public support to the government was increasing.
