Trinamool Congress (TMC) has launched its crusade to oust the BJP government in Tripura in the 2023 Assembly polls from Sunday, Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Abhishek Banerjee said while addressing a public rally in Agartala on Sunday

Abhishek Banerjee said, TMC  has launched its crusade to oust the BJP government in Tripura in the 2023 Assembly polls from today.

He said that Mamata Banerjee would launch the main crusade against the BJP government in Tripura through a mammoth rally in December.

The Trinamool rally was held with the permission of the Tripura High Court after the party moved it to challenge the Tripura Police direction to change the venue of the public meeting from in front of the Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan complex to Vivekananda ground on the outskirts of the city.

Abhishek Banerjee said that all Bengal government schemes would be implemented in Tripura after his party comes to power in the northeastern state.

“The BJP rule in Tripura is worse than the CPI-M governance (1993-2018). As opposition parties, both the CPI-M and the Congress, have failed to highlight the basic issues and distress of the people. I will come to Tripura more frequently and other party leaders are coming to the state often. The Trinamool came to Tripura to protect the people of the state from the misgovernance of the BJP,” Banerjee said.

Slamming Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, he said: “The BJP virus is more terrible than the coronavirus. People of Tripura must unitedly prevent the BJP virus for their welfare and betterment.”

He said that the BJP government, in order to prevent Trinamool’s organizational work, had, during the past two months, attacked its workers through its goons, damaged over 100 cars, registered many fake cases against him and other party leaders and even attacked the media offices for publishing news on Trinamool.

Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Sushmita Dev, state leader Subal Bhowmik, spokesman Kunal Ghosh among others also spoke on the occasion.

In the rally, sitting MLA Ashish Das joined Trinamool after he announced that he would leave the saffron party few months ago.
