The Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPI-M has announced a statewide agitation scheduled from June 26 to June 30. The agitation, unveiled during a press conference led by CPI-M state secretary Jiten Choudhury on Sunday, aims to denounce what they describe as the BJP’s deep entanglement in corrupt practices.
Choudhury articulated the party’s concerns, highlighting accusations against the BJP-led government for purportedly facilitating the construction of a private medical college without due legislative process. According to him, this project in Dukli is reportedly backed by funds from a Trinamool leader currently under CBI investigation for involvement in a cattle smuggling racket.
Moreover, Choudhury raised objections to the alleged imminent handover of IGM Hospital to a private entity without fulfilling mandatory affiliation requirements. He asserted that such actions by the BJP government undermine democratic procedures and public welfare.
“We urge the people of Tripura to join us in this protest against corruption and the mismanagement of the BJP administration,” Choudhury appealed, emphasizing the CPI-M’s commitment to addressing these issues through both agitation and forthcoming electoral campaigns for Panchayat elections.
Former MLAs Pabitra Kar and Sudhan Das were also present at the press conference, underscoring party unity and determination in confronting what they perceive as governance failures.
