AGARTALA, Nov 19 (TIWN): Opposition MLA Ratan Lal Nath has claimed that Tripura’s chit fund scam was the biggest ever economic disaster worse than any major natural disaster than flood and earthquake.

“Chit fund can not be compensated with 30 years of Tripura’s revenue and other income’s total”, he said.

 “In the history of Tripura there was no such a major financial loss the state faced, before the chit fund disaster. Chit fund is the biggest financial irregularities, looted lakhs of people’s savings which can not be recovered, worst than flood, earthquakes like disasters”.

 “The chit fund disasters have been conducted through Manik Sarkar’s direct and indirect helps in that manner which can not be recovered. Generally  in murder cases or in other any kind of scams ruling party has blamed the opposition, but Chit Fund is the only means which could not be answered or counterattacked by the CPI-M Govt”, said Nath.

“The Ministers, MLAs MPs’s direct involvement in chit funds could not be denied even in the recently released Govt Press note with 10 allegation’s denial. But they did not only helped the chit funds but they helped in that manner so that the thieves can not be caught in coming days”, said Nath.
