AGARTALA, June 27 (TIWN): Who were the hooligans vandalizing the opposition party office at Post Office Chowmuhani, attacking innocent people, stabbing Youth Congress workers, chasing police personnel with sticks, beating up senior Congress members including Party State Secretary Birjit Sinha in front of police personnel surrounded by two police stations and shamefully protected by police after Congress won Agartala-6 by polls? They are very known political mediocre leaders of the BJP party marked themselves as criminals in last few years whose crimes, rioting like indulgence have been video-recorded though no action can be taken against them by police administration till the BJP in power.
The party’s mediocre leaders are like Rajib Bhattacharjee, Papia Datta, Viki Prasad, Raghu Lodh Nabadul Banik, Tinku Roy who were captured in various crimes including Sep-8, 2021 capital city Agartala rioting and out of the them first four names were instigating violence in front of police, media in broad daylight on Sunday after poll results while attacking Congress Bhawan.
On the other hand, Tripura though has a DGP named V.S.Yadav, receiving an IPS officer’s salaries at public taxes took the oath to protect the citizens and to deal with everyone neutrally is invisible from the public eyes. He is never available to deliver any statement against the political riots in the city.
Not only the DGP but from District Magistrate, SP to many other high-rank officials who are actually more powerful as per the Indian law, turned puppets in hands of petty leaders since some criminal leaders came into power using the tool of democracy.
Tripura Election result was declared on Sunday, and BJP won 3 out of 4 seats whereas Congress after 7 years entered the Assembly with Sudip Roy Barman won the by-poll amid massive violence, rigging organized by the BJP. This is not the first time that Congress Bhawan was attacked but ahead of Municipal poll, a deadly attack took place on Congress Bhawan by BJP on that time only Congress members were arrested including a few young women activists of the party.
During the poll, Barman was hospitalized after he was attempted to be murdered by Tripura Minister Sushanta Chowdhury and his group.
After such a riot generated by the BJP in presence of Police and Media on Sunday, so far police arrested 7 Congress party workers and no one from the BJP.
However, after Congress Bhawan attack incident winner candidate of Agartala-6 Sudip Roy Barman said, “It is only a matter of 7 months as after 2023 Assembly poll, Tripura will be freed from such rigging, violence”.
