TIL Desk/National/Kulai (Tripura)/ BJP president Amit Shah has alleged that many Tripura ministers were directly involved in chit fund scams and added that they would be sent to jail if the saffron party wrested power from the CPI(M) in the upcoming Assembly polls.
Addressing a public rally in Kulai, Shah said the BJP had demanded a CBI inquiry into the Rose Valley chit fund scam in the north-eastern state and alleged that the Left Front government did not order a probe to protect their own interest.
“The BJP will form the next government here and within a month of that, we will identify those involved in the chit fund scams and corruption. I am sure many ministers are involved in the chit fund scams and they will be sent to jail,” he added.
The BJP chief is on a visit to Tripura, where the Assembly polls are due as the term of the current House is scheduled to come to an end on March 6. Shah warned the ruling CPI(M) that any attempt by them to trigger violence in the run-up to the polls would not be spared. “The more they try to spread violence, the more the lotus (BJP’s poll symbol) will bloom,” he said.
