AGARTALA, April 8 (TIWN): AGARTALA, April 8 (TIWN): CPI-M begun their Political potshots targeting BJP as CPI-M's total vote share still remained 42.7% in comparison to BJP's 43% in 2018 Assembly Election. Tripura Ex-Chief Minister Manik Sarkar started to hit rival BJP following the 1 month of election result. However, Manik Sarkar overcoming his anti-private sector capitalism propaganda claimed that without private sectors and industries, it will very tough for BJP Govt to fulfill a minimum part of their promises. "Tripura has 9 lakhs ration card holders, so creation of job in each family are not so easy and the number of govt employees are already 2 lakhs amid 36 lakhs of the population", Manik Sarkar said. "In this situation, until and unless, non-govt sectors are developed nothing can be done. Without Industry, Private Sectors Job Generation is impossible in Tripura", he added. The opposition leader also mentioned that unemployment problem is a National problem in a veiled reference to Modi Govt.

"BJP Govt at Centre before 4 years (ahead of election) promised about 2 crores of jobs per year. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself had promised that, but what happening the rate of unemployed youths are increasing. Whereas it was said that unemployed youths need not to think about the job opportunities, rather job will come to them, but after the BJP Govt came now those who were in jobs, they are also losing their jobs", Sarkar added. 

On the other side,  Tripura CPI-M has restrained from commenting anything against BJP Govt before it fails in generating employment. "Before commenting let's see what the new govt actually does. How far they are succeeded with private and govt jobs. Before that it will not be appropriate to comment instantly", Bijan Dhar told TIWN today. 

The issue was raised after BJP Chief Minister Biplab Deb on yesterday said, Tripura BJP never promised that it will provide govt jobs to youths. 

Chief Minister Biplab Deb on yesterday explained while addressing at skill development programme, "Our Vision Document  never promised that BJP Govt will provide govt jobs, rather we would arrange job opportunities or source of income through training". "People criticized us saying BJP is trying to diminish govt job opportunities from state, but it's not true. Govt jobs can never bring prosperity to a state, rather industries are responsible for the income of any govt. After the youth will be given proper training, nobody can stop him / her to achieve the goal". 

However, keeping the Lok-Sabha Election ahead the issues are slowly fueling and CPI-M Chief Ex-CM Manik Sarkar is setting the fire of Constroversy.
