AGARTALA, Oct 8 (TIWN): BJP's 7 months rule in Tripura already ruined State as Biplab Deb failed to get any Financial Package from PM Modi or Finance Minister Jaitley, which is causing lack of cashflow ahead Durga Puja in markets across Tripura. Tripura CM's weekly Delhi visits are mere Photo-Ops, various pictures with Central Ministers to fool public, media publicity and meet his wife Niti Deb who is working in SBI Delhi. In 7 months, Govt's flagship programmes like MGNREGA almost dead as no fundings reaching to remote villages, poor Tripuri people in Hills, many are suffering starvation. Even Tripura's over 7 lakhs unemployed people are left with no hopes other than descending to poverty as all pre-election JUMLA promises are mere FAKE, mere cheatings to bag votes. BJP is spending lakhs of rupees to conduct ordinary political meetings in 3 Star Hotels like Sonar Tori but no money or stipend to distribute among unemployed youths ahead of Durga Puja.Tripura since years has been continuing to roll on the top of the statewise unemployment list.
Over 800 contractual employees were terminated including poor mid-day-meal workers. There is a massive slash in MGNREGA works and rural areas are suffering due to no workless conditions, whereas even though under Manik Sarkar's regime even though two types of govts were ruling in centre and state but still Govt managed a minimum fund to uphold the rural economy.
In last 6 months not even properly 15 days of works have been given to the BPL families leading starvation in interior areas, whereas before the Election BJP promised to increase minimum wage at Rs. 340, Social Pension 2000, Regularization of all Govt employees, Smart Phone for youths, 7th Pay Commission and many more promises, now resulting in Jumla.
Agartala city has been geared up to celebrate Durga Puja 2018, but when only 9 days have remained for the puja businessmen are facing heavy losses due to less numbers of customers throughout the day.
Instead of gifting 7th Pay Commission, after increasing 40% fuel price since 2014, Modi Govt decreased Rs. 2.5 and State Govt further Rs. 2.5 petrol / diesel price and Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb has called it a "Historical Decision" whereas since 2014 Modi Govt collected Rs. 11 lakh crores from fuel taxes and fuel price is still high.
