AGARTALA, Sep 27 (TIWN): Post-Retirement Job holder cum former IAS officer Election Commissioner G.K.Rao led State Election Commission’s paralyzed role caused 96% seats being grabbed by BJP without contest, whereas TIWN has exposed how on Sep 11,2018 BJP openly stone pelted, attacked Congress, IPFT and CPI-M nominees preventing nomination filings. TIWN published videos, footage where BJP male, female activists, including MLA Ram Prasad Pal were openly involved in violence upon oppositions. BJP's goons on the last day of nomination submission attacked police officials also, whereas MLAs, leaders went rude against the police asking with whose permission, police is trying to take action ? After that all parties except BJP demanded re-scheduling of nomination submission but shamelessly BJP is celebrating uncontested election victories and now finally started planning for Lok Sabha Election. In this regard, recently Manik Sarkar asked BJP why they are afraid of Voting and to face public response in election.

There are many promises in the Vision Document whereas in the first page 10 points of promises were highlighted as : 1)One employment opportunity in each household, 2)Free Education for Women Till graduation, 3) 7th Pay Commission for all Govt employees & state pensioners, 4) Free smart phones to youths, 5) Minimum allowance will be Rs. 2000 & Minimum wage will be Rs. 340, 6)Investigate Rose Valley Chit fund case & punish all the guilty, 7) Provide Housing to all without brick housing, 8) Free Health insurance to all BPL Households, 9) Provide drinking water to all households, 10) Regularize contractual govt employees. But now after 202 days of the Govt formation, unemployment has increased 9%, recruitments are being stopped including TPSC, MGNREGA works are down and zero progress with Vision Document added by Poll-violence, lawlessness, deteriorating law and order condition.

As BJP already lost public support and faith bases in 6 months of misruling, expose of fake pre-poll promises and corruptions. Even in BDO office BJP didn't allow any other party to hold meeting.

It can be remembered that on July 20, BJP leader Joylal Das in a conference of Yuva Morcha at Sabroom subdivision in South Tripura openly asked party supporters to break opposition CPI-M supporters hands and legs and not to allow them in voting or submitting nominations during Panchayat Election.

Also BJP National General Secretary, State BJP incharge Sunil Deodhar On June 26 said, “BJP will not allow CPI-M to win even a single panchayat seat in coming days”.

Out of 35 blocks, in total 24 blocks opposition couldn't submit nominations. At Bamutia Block, which is located at town area, the rigging's level was observed when BJP activists gheraoed Congress President Birjit Sinha's vehicle and started stone-pelting.

After beating IPFT activists on Sep 11 during nomination submissions, BJP forced IPFT leaders to sit in a joint press conference and to announce there is no clash existing between IPFT, BJP.

One day, before the press meet,  IPFT leader Mangal Debbarma said, "Due to the ongoing exercise of poll-violence, our most of candidates couldn't submit nominations. Boxonagar, Dura Chowmuhani, Jubarajnagar in all areas massive violence was sponsored. Police's failure to control the situation and safeguard the IPFT activists was another major reason behind it".

IPFT President NC Debbarma's Statement on Sep 12 : "Right now Tripura is undergoing by-election procedures. On yesterday, it was the last date of submitting nominations. Naturally maximum candidates from various parties attempted to submit nominations".Being asked by media, NC Debbarma said, "It's fully clear and also proven which party is sponsoring the violence across state. There is nothing to hide, but this ongoing situation is not acceptable according to democracy".

Even after much requests, State Election Commission couldn't re-schedule the nomination submission process and BJP started fake poll victory shamelessly.
