Agartala: A three-member team of BJP MPs, headed by party’s vice-president S S Ahluwalia, arrived here on Monday on a two-day visit to review the post three-tier Panchayat poll situation in Tripura.
The visit was necessitated in the wake of alleged tortured and harassement of 1,200 opposition supporters by ruling CPI-M cadres in different parts of the state in the past two weeks.
Party state president Sudhindra Dasgupta alleged that CPI-M cadres have been targeting BJP workers and supporters since new government led by Narendra Modi assumed office and the situation had taken a worst turn when the BJP bagged a few seats in the Panchayat polls as well.
“The CPI-M has lost its ground due to large scale corruption of the party leaders and inactive opposition in the state and now BJP’s raise in the state politics has become a threat for vote bank politics of leftists and they instigated their cadres openly against BJP workers,” Mr Dasgupta said.
He alleged that as many as 1200 opposition supporters and workers of different parties were assaulted, 200 houses gutted, seven women have been tortured and three children injured in yhe post poll violence of CPI-M.
The BJP, for the first time, secured a majority in five gram Panchayats by winning 141 seats and Trinamool Congress have also won two village Panchayats.
Congress also won one Zilla Parishad, nine seats of Panchayat Samities and 18 village Panchayats though CPI-M won more than 85 per cent of three-tier Panchayat.
Mr Ahluwalia-led team, including MPs Tarun Vijay and Satyanarayan Jatiya, soon after their arrival rushed to the worst affected Chief Minister Manik Sarkar’s constituency Dhanpur in Sonamura sub-division followed by Belonia and Udaipur and interacted with the victim families, besides interacting with the local administration.
“We made it clear to both civil administration and police that state sponsor violence at the behest of ruling CPI-M, will not be tolerated any more because in democracy there is the provision of good opposition and only fight among the parties is supposed to be on ideology and better implementation of development program, if CPI-M adopt the path of violence they will be ruined,” Mr Ahluwalia said.
Criticising the leftists, he pointed out, “Narendra Modi government at the Centre has a clear cut vision for northeast and playing politics with poor, illiterate and marginalised community for party interest will no longer exist in region. People have enough wisdom to realise good and bad.
The MPs have scheduled to meet Governor Padmanabha Balakrishna Acharya and DGP. (UNI)
