Trinamool trying to gain political mileage from 'mock troubles in Tripura: BJP

AGARTALA/NEW DELHI: The BJP on Monday accused the Trinamool Congress of creating "artificial troubles" to gain political mileage in Tripura and said it would soon launch organizational programmes to protest the Trinamool's "conspiracies" against peace and development in the State.

In a series of tweets, Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, without naming the Trinamool, said that a "section is active and hatching conspiracies to achieve political mileage preventing the pace of development in the State" and asserted that any kind of conspiracy would fail to derail the development process.

To protest the alleged attack on its leaders and workers in Tripura by the BJP on Saturday and Sunday, Trinamool MPs on Monday staged a protest in front of the Gandhi statue in the Parliament complex.

Following this, BJP's national general secretary, organization, B.L. Santhosh, in a tweet, said: "After attacking Tripura CM Biplab Kumar Deb's convoy two days ago and engineering hundreds of political killings of workers in West Bengal, AITC MPs have the audacity to protest besides Mahatma Gandhi's statue. Go, do some soul searching and then protest."

Tripura state BJP's chief spokesman Subrata Chakraborty said that his party would soon launch some organizational programmes to protest the "conspiracies" of the Trinamool to upset the peace and development of the state.

"Our programmes are being finalized against the Trinamool's plot to disturb the law and order situation in the State. Our Chief Minister (Deb) was attacked on a number of occasions when he went to various party programmes in Bengal. We are not against any party's programmes in Tripura maintaining the prevailing law and the Covid protocols," Chakraborty told the media. IANS
