AGARTALA, Nov 19 (TIWN): Northeast Festival turned a bumper bonanza for all corrupt leaders under Biplab Deb and Pratima Bhowmik as crores are looted by Mafia Tapas type criminals even didn’t supply mosquito nets to 500 plus delegates. No other Minister was allowed to interfere in Biplab and Pratima led loot from the Youth Festival fund and for each scam it's none other than CM Biplab Deb is liable. BJP backed teachers and few other depts govt employees who are top Sangha leaders took active participation in the financial irregularities where no tender was followed. Opposition, Common men specially youths have now in demand of "Judicial Investigation in the scam" whereas the State Govt failed to answer anything in damage repairing. On yesterday night Biplab Deb also instructed not to allow few categorical Ministers to enter in Astabal Stadium where Alka Yagnik had performed but later the situation was managed by police. Congress has claimed, not only Finance but even Sports Minister Manoj Kanti Deb was also kept away from the expenditure whereas Chief Minister used this fund for "self propaganda".

Pratima Bhowmik is controlling the whole Sports Dept and even she is posting in her facebook page how she is holding meetings in DM Office for Sports cultures, even though she has no link with Sports Dept or the administration. 

This is not the single scam allegation against Biplab and Pratima gang but with another major shameful event for Tripura in the name of Neermahal trip, State Govt under organizing committee has charged the outside artists who came to perform in Northeast Youth Festival to buy "tickets" to enter the Neermahal.The organizing committee had invited the performers to come in the 'tour' across historical places of Tripura, whereas from Neermahal huge amounts have been collected from the performers.It has been known that for one plate food, Govt is showing expenditure above Rs. 600 to Rs. 700 whereas foods are of very low quality. 

With all such scam allegations, Congress demanding Judicial Investigation, said that instead of doing proper food arrangement for the performers in the hostels, Kamalpur like places were also decorated with flex of Rs. 36 lakh with banners of the CM. Congress President Birjit Sinha has accused Chief Minister is behind this scam as Sports Minister Manoj Deb was also sidelined from the expenditure issue. CPI-M also have condemned the ongoing scams. 

Congress has also condemned local MLAs of Agaratal, Ministers' absence which was done allegedly by Chief Minister Biplab Deb through his officials. TIWN has already exposed, how Ministers like Sudip Barman, Pranajit Singha Roy were sidelined from the programme. 

BJP's few top leaders whom Biplab Deb finds as more popular than him, he sidelined them. Congress further alleged that in 400 rupees few passes were given.

Congress demanding Judicial Investigation, said that instead of doing proper food arrangement for the performers in the hostels, Kamalpur like places were also decorated with flex, banners of the CM. Congress President Birjit Sinha has accused Chief Minister is behind this scam.

In such a major scam, one local BJP activist Tapas. At first he got Rs. 90 lakhs to buy bowling machine, whereas only Rs. 75 lakh was the main expenditure. Then again without tender he was given responsibility of arranging food for the artists who came from other states to participate in Northeast Youth Festival. On this purpose Rs. 80 lakh was given to him, whereas the performers alleged that the food quality was of very low standard. Now question has raised, why in favour of Tapas, Pratima Bhowmik organized such big gifts ?? Before election, Bhowmik was also using Tapas's luxurious vehicle day-night. A section BJP activists, leaders have expressed massive anger on such activity as if tender was given then a huge number of unemployed youths could be helped.
