"Allover the state our candidates have been attacked. Even before a while our candidates were attacked at Bishalgarh. BJP is threatening them not to submit nominations for the upcoming election. Similar attacks are going on statewide. People had voted for BJP thinking it would develop the state but now all in all violence have been existing sponsored by the ruling Govt", Birjit Sinha told press. 

"On 29th November Santu Chakraborty, Congress President of Teliamura was heavily attacked. In the same house earlier also attacks were held but no arrest was done. In Teliamura 8-9 youths are indulged in murders, attacks and open threats to non-BJP people. Since one month before the election violence are going on", Birjit Sinha said further accusing BJP MLA Kalyani Roy behind the whole violence.

"In Agartala also our various leaders' houses were attacked. House to house threats are going on openly. What are these going on across Tripura ? Why BJP is so afraid with fair means of election ?"
