AGARTALA, Nov 15 (TIWN): Opposition parties, a section of media came in heavy reactions after India's First Prime Minister Jawharlal Nehru's statue which is set every year on the Umakanta Mini Stadium (whole year kept in Umakanta School) on the occasion of Children's Day was blacklisted by BJP Govt on his 129th birth anniversary.

BJP's history manipulation trend has intentionally led that activity on 129th birthday of Jawharlal Nehru (also known as Chacha Nehru) who is the core of the programme. Every year since decades, School Students in traditional attires pay tribute to Nehru's statue even under Anti-Congress Leftist Party's long ruling but such attitude of BJP Govt is proceeding children in wrong direction, shocked teachers, Education Dept officials. 

Every year children clean the statue ahead of Children's Day and then Nehru's staute paid tribute on Children's Day with flowers, but with such move of Govt what kind of Education the children have received this year ? Questions raised. 

CM is holding the ICAT Dept and his Bangladesh cousin brother Subash Deb is now the ICAT chief. 

Earlier, Ministers' lane which were named after international revolutionaries Marx, Engels, that signboard of Marx-Engels were threw under CM Biplab Deb's order in municipality drains. Lenin's statue and various Ex-Ministers, Ex-Deputy CM's statue demolitions have been witnessed by the state which further resulted in mob-lynching for the first time in Tripura's history. 

Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb turned Children Day celebration a political dais, calling children to "Join Politics" under Modi's ideology and intentionally skipped to mention India's first Prime Minister Jawharlal Nehru's name and his contribution to the nation. CM further named former RSS leaders as Deendayal Upadhyay, founder of BJP Syama Prasad Mukherjee's name as 'true' nationalists even though reports/ history revealed how RSS was responsible behind country's partition by generating hatred among Hindus and Muslims.
