CPI(M) Created Controversies, We Created Trust: Amit Shah In Tripura Ahead Of Assembly Elections

Union Home Minister Amit Shah cornered the CPI(M) saying that it created controversies and violence in Tripura while BJP worked towards creating trust.

New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday took a jibe at the Communist Party of India (Marxist) saying that the party created "controversies" in Tripura while the Bharatiya Janata Party "created trust", reported news agency PTI.  "4000 were killed in Tripura during CPI(M) rule and violence was all over the state. BJP made Bru-Reang agreement & brought development here. CPI(M) created controversies whereas we created trust," Shah said while addressing a poll rally in Agartala. 

Shah landed at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport in Agartala on Sunday for two election rallies in the state. 

He is scheduled to address a poll campaign at Khowai in state's Khowai district.

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha along with Yuva Morcha state president Nabadal Banik visited Khowai and Santir Bazar on Saturday to see the preparations for the two election rallies to be addressed by the Union Home Minister.

Security arrangements were beefed up in Agartala ahead of the road show to be led by the Union Minister, said a police officer on Sunday, reported PTI. 

Earlier, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader visited the state on January 5 and attended two Rath Yatras - one from North Tripura's Dharmanagar and another from South Tripura's Sabroom commencing the party's campaign for the Assembly elections.
