AGARTALA, Dec 2 (TIWN): Reacting over Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb’s claim that no hunger and starvation is existing in Tripura, former MP Jitendra Choudhury has asked the Chief Minister to visit more deep areas than Chamanu where people are travelling everyday Bangladesh for livelihood.

“CM has visited Chamnau but why didn’t he visit East Govindapur, Thal Chara ? He has travelled in helicopter for Chamnau but he why didn’t he visit to Thalchara in helicopter too ? Once via helicopter food had to be sent in BSF camp and Left Govt constructed road at there”, said Jitendra Choudhury.

“Those people are collecting ‘gandhaki’ from Bangladesh’s forest and that’s how they pass their lives under BJP Govt”, said Choudhury.

The statement from the former MP came after Biplab Deb said that there is no hunger and poverty existing in the state during his ‘Janata Durbar’ in Chamnau and only CPI-M’s Commission-takers are undergoing poverty.
