After the strike, Sunil Deodhar tweeted, “ BJP called called bandh against murder of Journalist Sudip Datta Bhaumik’s  got a statewide support. People from all walks of life supported this state wide bandh. However CPI-M is trying its level best to create a ruckus in state by using method of lumpenism, hoolliganism, vandalism. People of Tripura will give them befitting reply in upcoming assembly Elections”.
