AGARTALA, March 14 (TIWN): 2018's Lok Sabha poll Chhattisgarh independent candidate Kriti Devi Singh who has been nominated as the East Tripura candidate, replacing Rebati Tripura arrived in the state today. In stead of BJP, Tipra Motha party workers welcomed her at the Agartala MBB Airport. Her brother cum Tipra Motha chief Pradyot Manikya was accompanying her.Amid resentment erupted among Tipra Motha supporters about the candidate’s selection for East Tripura constituency, Pradyot Manikya said, “Now it’s my time to take revenge. People who made me cry I will make them cry.” Kriti Singh received 0.3% vote in Chhattisgarh in 2018. MP Rebati Tripura who did not get candidature this year however, has congratulated both candidates of BJP on social media formally, but his supporters said, they are not happy with BJP’s decision. Overall, resentment prevails among BJP and Tipra Motha both party supporters. For West Tripura, BJP has selected former CM Biplab Deb as the candidate.

Tripura opposition leader Jitendra Chowdhury alleged that East Tripura constituency BJP candidate Kriti Singh is an inappropriate candidate for the constituency reserved for ST, adding, she has no idea about Tripura’s culture.

Jitendra Chowdhury also labeled Biplab Deb as an outsider, who was sent to Tripura as BJP president in 2016.
