AGARTALA, Dec 27 (TIWN): When CPI-M in problem, Congress is back in action to save Manik Sarkar's face and to repair the damages recently done by Trinamool Congress and BJP by remembering CPI-M's first Chief Minister Nripen Chakraborty, on his 13th death anniversary when CPI-M had forgotten totally about it. Both Trinamool and BJP have slammed the CPI-M Govt for not observing Nripen Chakraborty's death anniversary, even though he was the most honest leader of the state among CPI-M. But, Congress directly has condemned the BJP and Trinamool for "doing politics" in the name of Nripen Chakraborty ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. "Why the BJP and Trinamool did not observed the death or birth anniversary of Nripen Chakraborty in the previous years?", said a Congress leader here.

 "They are trying to capitalize the sentiment of people before the assembly elections," he added. 

On the other side, roars of criticism is now across Tripura after CPI-M had forgotten to observe the 13th death anniversary of Nripen Chakraborty, the Godfather of the present Chief Minister Manik Sarkar. Across TV channels, newspapers, social media debates have yet been continuing after Nripen Chakraborty's grandson Sandeep Chakraborty had condemned CPI-M's attitude towards comrade Nripen Chakraborty. Yesterday, after Trinamool party had remembered Nripen Chakraborty, in the evening BJP State President Biplab Deb also calling media and expressed his shocks on CPI-M's attitude. However, 1950 Nripen Chakraborty was sent to Tripura by the party, when CPI-M was at zero level's stage here. Just like what is Sunil Deodhar for Tripura BJP, Nripen Chakraborty was infact more than that. In this situation, questions are raising, how Manik Sarkar has forgotten his Godfather ?

The present chief minister also does not mention about Nripen Chakraborty for a single time while delivering his speech in CPI-M rallies. 

Noteworthy, Nripen Chakraborty was the 1st Chief Minister from CPI-M in Tripura and till day he is remarked as the best Chief Minister of Tripura. No opposition leader  could also deny that he was the best CM of Tripura. 

He was born at Bikrampur in Dhaka Dist  of Bengal province of British India (present-day Bangladesh). He was the ninth child of Rajkumar and Uttamsunadari Chakraborty. He passed the entrance examination from Outsahi High School in 1925. He left his studies in Dhaka University to join the Indian freedom movement. In 1931, he took part in the civil disobedience movement. He joined the Communist Party of India in 1934.

He was elected secretary of the Bengal unit of the party in 1937. In 1950, he was sent to Tripura by the party, and became an important organizer there, but the ending was tragic. Chakraborty was insulted for long 9 years by CPI-M and later suspended, when he raised voice against some party scams.
