AGARTALA, March 13 (TIWN): Under BJP-IPFT Govt, Tripura's unemployment problem is taking a serious shape whereas salaries of many regular employees could not be paid in this month yet by the Govt. As reason behind the pending salaries and per month irregular-flow of salaries has been reported as ‘fund crisis’ whereas the reason behind fund-crisis hasn’t disclosed by the Govt. Tripura BJP before the election promised to manage huge fund flows from the centre. Indeed Chief Minister Biplab Deb on that time as BJP President said that because centre will allocate "massive" funds after state BJP wins election, thus BJP have made promises like 7th CPC and regularization of contractual Govt employees, but now the Govt is saying that with increasing state revenues everything will be developed, but right now blame is on CPI-M for leaving the present govt under heavy debt.But when allegations brought by BJP led State Govt about Left Govt burdened the State with hefty amounts of debts and deficits, a report has revealed the previous Govt left at least Rs. 1400 crores in stock which has been wasted by Chief Minister and few of his other Ministers. Earlier, Congress brought allegation how Biplab Deb renovated his whole quarter after former CM Manik Sarkar’s departure, luxurious gym and multiple AC machines were brought for CM’s quarter and Ministers brought new furniture at the taxpayers money. Few Minister didn’t like the tiles and thus replaced the tiles.

Due to extravagant expenditure only now fund crisis has gripped the state. From Panchayat employees to SSA staffs many didn’t get their salaries yet in this month erupted huge resentment.

Since in power, the BJP-IPFT Govt has been  presenting zero deficit budget, whereas huge tax collection from the public increased revenue in 2018 more than double in compare to Left Govt’s 2017’s revenue.

Even from the pensioners, taxes are being collected now. To enter local fairs, Govt programmes, entry fee has been added. Even at Agartala Book Fair like programmes bike parking sought 10 rupees of charge this year. In similar way, at Battala and many other places, parking charges have been imposed on the common men leading a regular parking-bound person to pay 300 rupees per month.

Even though Deputy Chief Minister who is also the Finance Minister Jishnu Dev Barman hit CPI-M Govt accusing for bearing wrong economic policy claiming that 16000 crores as deficit and 1290 crore rupees of debt were kept for the BJP Govt, but the previous Govt never imposed burden on common men, rather kept the central govt under pressure for fund releasing.

It has been known, even though a pay matrix has been announced, but many employees yet to get the benefits properly. Two years’ DAs are pending. No pension hike, rather tax imposed on pensions. 

In this condition, when state is suffering from massive fund crisis, report on extravagation by Ministers, leaders and CM of Rs. 1400 crores have erupted resentment among the common men.
