AGARTALA, March 9 (TIWN): Former BJP MLA Sudip Roy Barman while addressing in a press meet at Congress Bhawan pointing at Union Minister Amit Shah’s Astabal programme said, “ Amit Shah and others Minister those who delivered speeches, nowhere a single word they uttered about ADC, direct funding, more empowerment, 62 Amendment, Kokborok language and its Policy, inclusion in the eight schedule, not a single word they have uttered”.

Barman said, “I have seen it was BJP’s gathering in the completion of 4 Years, but this cabinet consists of BJP-IPFT’s aligned government”.

As IPFT’s leaders were not seen in BJP’s yesterday’s Amit Shah’s programme at Astabal, raising this matter Sudip Roy Barman asked, “Whether IPFT is not the partner of BJP of this aligned Govt or cabinet? Where were they yesterday?”

However, reacting to the same question raised by journalists, BJP MLA Kalyani Roy said, as it was a BJP rally, so naturally, IPFT's participation is out of question as that programme was dedicated for BJP kariyakartas.

“Has BJP sole made the cabinet?” asked Barman over the absence of IPFT Leaders in Yesterday’s Program.
