Agartala: Bharatiya Janata Janajati Morcha will organise a rally on August 9 here highlighting the ‘failure’ of the Left Front Government in taking steps for the development of Tripura’s tribal people during its 25- year regime. The opposition BJP is supporting the BJJM. BJP state president Biplab Kumar Deb today announced that a rally of tribal people will be organised in Agartala aiming to highlight how the CPI-M led Left Front Government ‘played’ with these people keeping them in darkness in spite of huge funding from the Centre. ‘During my three-day long visit in the remotest areas of Dhalai district recently, I could witness that the people residing in Nepal Tilla ADC village and adjoining ADC villages are unaware of media channels, newspapers and cable connection’, he pointed out. Deb said people living in those ADC villages were deprived of proper health facilities, education, safe drinking water and electricity. Chief Minister Manik Sarkar built high-rise buildings in the cities with central fund but was not doing anything to eliminate poverty and sufferings of the poor tribals. ‘There is acute crisis of doctors and nurses in the hospitals and many schools did not have adequate number of teachers,’ he said. Life in African jungles is better, he commented. UNI
