AGARTALA, May 7 (TIWN): Popularly known as "Bus-Conductor" who became more popular after he was beaten by an unemployed youth Samir Debnath back in 2016 at the Melarmath Headquarter, who allegedly bribed the Former Minister Manik Dey to manage a job for him, but never was provided with a job. Since decades, unruliness of CITU was silently observed by the then Transport Minister Manik Dey but never uttered a word against them and the public left with no other option than giving extra fares to the auto drivers. The immoral practices of the auto drivers on unfair charges, violations of passengers carrying laws against High Court’s order had developed only in the CPI-M era.

The auto drivers following that law-violation habit, today unable to follow the basic rules for the sake of traffic management. 

Also in those CITU and trade union offices various illegal weapons were recovered after the election, but today when those illegally constructed party offices were demolished then Manik Dey rushed to the spot and cried over the incident. 

Today the demolition drive under West DM Millind Ramteke has begun, whereas in next few days the actions to be continued till the last number of the illegally built party offices' list. But following the party offices demolition built over govt lands, CPI-M has claimed that in such union offices the passengers used to spent times and used them their resting place. However in last 25 years, instead of allowing passengers to take rest inside their party offices, the passengers-shed at Nagerjala and various other places were occupied by CITU and trade unions, but today CPI-M MP Shankar Prasad Datta and CPI-M Ex-Minister Manik Dey both have claimed that those party offices which have been bulldozed were used by passengers to take rest under the shed.

After the demolition of various party offices and shops built over Govt lands, CPI-M Ex-Minister Manik Dey, MP Shakar Prasad Datta visited the spot, slamming the BJP Govt as ‘Undemocratic’. On the other side, Congress have gheraoed the DM Office, protesting against the movement of the BJP Govt as many Congress party offices also came under bulldozing. Manik Dey told media, “The situation is worse than emergency time as in emergency time also they didn’t break this party office".

"In emergency time, police came to take action, but after our request, they didn’t take action. Today under the BJP Govt without giving any proper time and notice, they are demolishing party offices and that's what the BJP Govt is", Manik Dey said. 

Noteworthy, in 2016, month of February, in a shocking development, one businessman named Samir Debnath sneaked into the CPI-M State headquarter at Melarmath around 8.30pm on Sunday night and assaulted Transport Minister Manik Dey with a chair over the alleged dispute of pending business transaction of Rs 4 lakhs cash dealings.
