Tripura Pradesh Congress on Wednesday released a ‘13-point chargesheet’ against the BJP government in Tripura for allegedly failing to deliver on key promises over last four and half years, and held the government responsible for people’s growing frustration.
The All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Dr. Ajay Kumar accompanied by the AICC secretary Tzaritha Laiphang, PCC president Birajit Sinha and party leader and candidate for by-election Asish Saha released the chargesheets and accused the government of making absurd promises to the people of this state before the 2018 general assembly election.
Kumar alleged that during the last four and half years the people of this state were duped by the BJP government.
“The ensuing by-elections will surely probe the growing frustration and disappointment of the people of this state with the BJP government,” Kumar claimed.
Reading out the 13-point chargesheet framed by the Congress, the PCC president Birajit Sinha alleged that before coming the power the BJP had promised to give jobs to every household but less than five percent were given and that too through outsourcing and they also promised to give fifty thousand jobs in the first year but did nothing.
“Currently the employees of Tripura are getting only 3% of DA which is 31% less than what the central employees are getting. The BJP had in its vision documents had promised pay package as per the 7th Central Pay Commission recommendations for the employees of the state,” Sinha said, adding that the BJP had promised free education for all but instead introduced ‘Vidyajyoti scheme’ through which the BJP was now trying to extort money from the people.
Sinha said, “The BJP government had betrayed the 10,323 ad-hoc teachers of the state by its false promises.”
He added that BJP only misled the people by making absurd promises like bringing ships to Tripura by the Gomati river. He also pointed out the rampant corruption among BJP leaders and the critical law and order situation and other negative factors for which BJP was responsible.
