Tripura-Bangladesh commercial relation f | AGARTALA, Sep 24 (TIWN): Modi Govt.’s attempts to make Tripura as the gateway for Southeast Asia is delaying due to ManikSarkar’s Communist era, as CM already said he can not change his Communist Policy for Requirement. Although Bangladesh Industry Minister Alhaj Amir Hossain Amu has arrived in Tripura after he visited in the month of June 2nd, during ASSOCHAM organized programme for “Invest Tripuraâ€, but his 2 times visit has been proven as a massive failure as in reality CM will never encourage to grow Commercial relation with any state or country. Y P Singh although on Thursday, blamed ASSOCHAM group of Industry for going without investing for Tripura, but has he forgotten about what the Chief Minister said on that prestigious occasion? Whereas West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee made an impassionate plea on her state’s business summit – “Please Invest for West Bengalâ€, but Tripura CM said on June 2nd, “Do not harm the peace of Tripura for the sake of profit, as Tripura’s people are very poor & innocent & their hearts are pureâ€. Bangladesh Minister Amu on July 2nd said, "India can be an effective, important and liberal partner to Bangladesh in setting up of modern technology-based medium and heavy industries," but what Tripura CPI-M did in return?

There is no alternative of development, and development is work of a Govt. If Mamata Banerjee can provide rice at Rs. 2 per Kilo, if she can provide bicycle to its 40 lakhs students, why CM of Tripura can not?------ as Tripura has only 37 lakhs of population. Addressing the gathering he said, the crowd itself is saying how much people of Tripura hates CPI-M who is misleading the state since 23 years.

Nation's enemy CPI-M exposed : Manik Sar | AGARTALA / NEW DELHI, Sep 24 (TIWN): Quite shockingly, like a loose dog barking on the street, CPI-M’s Tripura Lord didn’t blink even once before calling Indian Prime Minister’s ‘Act East’ Policy a garbage, then blaming Indian Govt for high-handedness in North East India, criticizing Indian Foreign Policy in South East Asia, then calling Industrialists as exploiters in recently held Sep 21-23 FICCI Industry Summit. Various officials and dignitaries were shell shocked by these ill-mannered rubbish from Tripura CM who barely qualifies as an educated person due to his poor educational credentials. No State Chief Minister can comment on national foreign policy, then attack Central Govt in International gatherings. Its only possible by anti-national CPI-M Party, which has a history anti-national activities since Indo-China war in 1962 when it supported China. Manik Sarkar is no exception as Communist CM’s goal is showing India in poor light and supporting all anti-Indian propaganda. | 24-Sep-2016 |

Y P Singh said that last business conclave held on 2nd July the ASSOCHAM people didn’t come back to Tripura, also they didn’t give any feedback why they are not interested to invest for Tripura.

Admitting it was ‘crude language’, Sarkar said : “ Investors don’t come to help our states, they come for profits.†And he kept reminding the august gathering that Tripura was a very poor state and “ our people are very poor,†even as his officials rattled claims and statistics about the state’s “phenomenal progress.†Sarkar rubbished the PPP (private-public partnership) model for infrastructure project as “ totally bogusâ€, forgetting that even Communist China allows both state and private sector industries a partnership role in such projects. So top honchos of FICCI and business leaders were shocked when Sarkar said “ why will private sector develop our infrastructure.†A top industrialist, on condition of anonymity said the Chief Minister has no idea that investment in infrastructure is “hugely profitable†. “ This man has no idea of the world of business and how it has changed, which age is he living in,†the industrialist said.Many felt statements such as this will actually discourage investors rather than encourage them to come to Tripura , which has some obvious advantages, but pragmatism of leadership not being one of them. | 21-Sep-2016 |
