AGARTALA, March 17 (TIWN): Chief Minister Biplab Deb’s gaffe had destroyed his image nationally and also demoralized BJP activists in Tripura, but leadership of Pratima Bhowmik like person in the party has finally ruined the party’s popularity locally. Before Assembly Election, Tripura has Sunil Deodhar and central led tight control, whereas Pratima Bhowmik who was sidelined even by previous party presidents of BJP attempted to highlight her since the departure of central leaders but pathetic oratory and criminal background with various allegations as drug smuggling led the party image destroyed in a year.BJP General Secretary Pratima Bhowmik, whose background was suspicious but via so called ‘social work’ already made ‘official’, ‘announced’ property of 50 lakhs before 2018 election, against whom BJP MLA Surajit Datta himself brought serious allegation for nurturing drug smugglers like Tapas Ghosh has claimed that Biplab Deb will make Tripura a ‘model’ state even less than 3 years of time.

 As BJP Govt has nothing to show in report card of 1 year, since the very beginning planwise started propaganda on ‘Nesha Mukt Tripura’, whereas a shocking data has revealed, Tripura’s narcotic consumption has increased by 10% in BJP era. With a suspicious move, now Govt has removed the checking system in the border for vehicles coming from Bangladesh and allowed any vehicle to enter 3 km inside Tripura without stoppage, which has increased chances of more smuggling and illegal exports and imports.

Tripura not only tops in narcotic consumption in the whole country according to national data, but also the narcotic consumption has increased 10% in 2018 than 2017. Govt data has revealed, ‘Even though countrywide consumption of tobacco has been decreased by 10%, but in case of Tripura it has been increased. Moreover now 55% death causes in Tripura are due to tobacco consumption. Due to unemployment rate’s increase however such illegal activities are on spike'.

Amid Chief Minister Biplab Deb’s so called ‘Nesh-Mukt-Tripura’ slogan, brown sugar, ganja smuggling have turned more rampant. Till now police couldn’t answer about the destruction of seized drug items in Tripura.

It’s quite surprising when BJP Govt is claiming a Govt against Drug empire and arrested around 500 people in drug mafia, but till now police couldn’t end the mafia regime fully, whereas if investigation was proper then the narcotic den could be unrooted as the Govt has ruled over 1 year, raising question why drug empire has increased rather than decreasing.
