Tripura: CPIM questions TIPRA Motha's role in ADC development
Close on the heels of its State Committee meeting, CPIM State secretary of Tripura Jitendra Choudhury lashed out at the TIPRA Motha Party (TMP) and questioned TMP’s role in addressing the 'inadequate' funding for the development of the Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) in the state. Choudhury made these remarks during a press conference held at the party's headquarters on Monday.
Choudhury asserted, "While the BJP-led coalition government in Tripura appears to be neglecting the development of the ADCs and failing to release the required funds as sanctioned, the TIPRA Motha party, seemingly in cahoots with the BJP government, seems uninterested in pursuing an agenda for the development of the indigenous tribes of the state." He further alleged that the TIPRA Motha party was misguiding indigenous people in the name of their Greater Tipraland demand, while indigenous communities in the ADCs grappled with severe crises.
The CPIM leader went on to highlight the TIPRA Motha party's apparent negligence in addressing various issues, including the delay in conducting village council elections. He accused the party of failing to take a strong stand against corruption, nepotism, and the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
Besides, Choudhury blamed the BJP-led coalition government in controlling the drug menace and referred to a recent report by the Ministry of Home Affairs, which ranked Tripura as the number one state in terms of drug dealing. He attributed the rise in drug-related issues to growing unemployment and a deteriorating law and order situation.
The CPIM leader also criticized the handling of the mysterious death of a class 9 student named Dipashree Das. He held a BJP and RSS leader responsible for the incident and questioned the police's role, alleging that law and order was deteriorating, and the police were failing to act due to the involvement of ruling party leaders.
Choudhury announced that the Left parties would intensify their campaign against the government starting on November 15 in Tripura, which would continue for a month.
