Those Who Fought Against Each Other, Came Together For 'Chanda': PM Modi Slams Cong-CPI(M) Alliance In Tripura
PM Modi In Radhakishorepur Rally: Prime Minister said that the Congress and Communist governments had hampered Tripura's growth for decades.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the Congress-CPI(M) coalition in election-bound Tripura on Saturday, saying that formerly, police stations in the state were controlled by Left cadre, but now that the Bharatiya Janata Party is in power, there is rule of law.
During an electoral rally in Tripura's Ambassa, Modi alleged that the Congress and Communists had hampered Tripura's progress for decades. The BJP government has brought about growth in the state. "Violence is no longer Tripura's identity. "The BJP liberated the state from terror and violence," the prime minister said.
"Earlier, police stations in Tripura were captured by the CPM cadre but now under BJP rule, there's a rule of law in the state. "There is now women empowerment in the state, and there is an ease of living," Modi was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
5 years ago, when there was CPI(M) govt here, 'CPM ki chanda waali company' used to loot your ration. The poor wanted ration but Leftists used to loot the ration.

Modi asserted, in a veiled allusion to Tipra Motha, led by Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma, that some other parties were also assisting the Opposition alliance from behind, but that any support for them would set Tripura back several years.
Modi also claimed that the Left and Congress governments divided tribals, however the BJP tried to settle their difficulties, especially the Brus.
"The BJP is working for tribal upliftment across India," he said.
He told the rally, "Beware of the double-edged sword of Congress and Left, they want to halt all plans that help the people." He urged the people to vote for the "double-engine" government to continue the northeastern state's development streak.
Modi said that the BJP had liberated Tripura from a fearful atmosphere and a "chanda" culture (donations).

Modi mentioned that 5,000 kilometres of roads were created in Tripura to connect villages as part of the BJP government's initiatives for the state's development. "Agartala also got a new airport. Villages are getting optical fibre and 4G connectivity. Tripura is now becoming a worldwide player. We are developing waterways to connect the northeast and Tripura with ports," Modi stated.
The 2023 Tripura Legislative Assembly election is scheduled to be held in Tripura on 16 February 2023 to elect all 60 members of the State Legislative Assembly.
