TIL Desk/National/Mohanpur(Tripura)/ Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah has asked the people to oust Tripura’s ‘Lal bhai’ government, as he accused the Left cadres of pocketing public funds meant for development and promised to make the state a model one if his party is voted to power.
With the BJP being seen as putting up a strong challenge to the 25-year-old uninterrupted Left reign in the state, Shah led an eight-kilometre road show and addressed rallies in which he sought votes for the state’s ‘transformation’.
Ahead of the assembly polls to be held next Sunday, Shah made a host of promises to the people of the state, including smart phones for youths, implementation of the seventh pay commission for government employees from the next day of his party being voted to power and action against chit fund scam accused.
Without naming Rahul Gandhi, he alleged that the Congress chief had put up candidates as ‘vote-katva’ (cutting into others’ votes) to help the Communist Party of India-Marxist government headed by Chief Minister Manik Sarkar to come back to power.
