KOLKATA / AGARTALA, Oct 6 (TIWN): Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb faced hard questions on Saturday at Kolkata before National media during "India Today Conclave East 2018", when pressed by 'India Today' journalist on CM's image from 'Internet-Mahabharat era, Diana Hayden beauty' and inquired further on Panchayat Poll violence allegations under BJP ruling. Even though along with 5 political murders, Tripura first time has undergone "Mob-Lynching" under Biplab Deb's era, but when 'India Today' journalist Rahul Kanwal raised the issue, Biplab Deb declined any political murder, any physical attack in his state since 7 months. Being asked by Rahul Kanwal in the conclave about 96% uncontested Panchayat election seats' forceful winning allegation in his state, Biplab Deb has strictly denied any violence in Tripura saying "Nobody can say a single political murder in my Tripura" under BJP ruling, amid five CPI-M activists were brutally killed in Tripura in last 7 months. Tripura's 5 big political murder victims in last 7 months are : (1)Abdul Kadir, (2) Tapas Sutradhar, (3) Rakesh Dhar, (4) Pradip Deb Barma, (5) Ajendra Reang.

Apart from murders till day in border areas people are homeless who are in opposition and mafias under BJP attire continuing unruliness in those areas.

 Also after the election many communist leaders for 4-5 months couldn't stay in own houses. 

'India Today' Journalist Rahul Kanwal asked him further about the viral reports of Biplab Deb led terror in Panchayat election, but Deb replied, "Nobody can say a single communist activist was hospitalized", whereas in reality Tripura's Ex-CM Manik Sarkar was also attacked under Biplab era. Congress State President Birjit Sinha was openly attacked, stone pelted by BJP goons in front of Dukli block when he was accompanying one Congress activist during nomination paper submission on September 11.

Around 96 percent of the total elected representatives of CPI-M and other non-BJP parties were forced to resign following BJP leaders' and workers' threat after the saffron party-led coalition government assumed office in March and then amid massive rigging the poll went. Even though to the State Election Commission, it was urged by opposition parties to reschedule the nomination submission, but the request couldn't be proceeded due to pressure given by the ruling govt.

Although total numbers of vacant seats were 3207 but only for 132 seats voting was held as others left unontested. Rest seats have won by BJP without any contest. In the same way in Panchayat Samiti out of 161 seats only for 7 seats elections are going on. For Jila Parishad there will be no election as BJP grabbed all 18 the seats forcefully. 

BJP also attacked IPFT activists, leaders by stopping them to submit nominations and IPFT was almost breaking the alliance after mass beaten. 

The violence didn't end at there. Massive violence, attacks, poll rigging have been reported on the on the counting day of Panchayat by-election.When oppositions could not submit nominations, the ruling BJP and IPFT have alleged each other for casting extra votes by force in Khowai poll centre during by-election procedure. The booth had undergone re-polling. 

The fear factor which BJP wants to keep alive among people was displayed when one Ajit Das’s shop was vandalized after he performed his duty as polling agent of CPI-M. A viral video on ballot paper rigging at Panisagar has become viral, the seat which resulted in draw between CPI-M & BJP.

However, the "India Today" journalist asked a tricky question why in a same state Lenin's statue was bulldozed and Govt is going to remove Lenin from school syllabus asking the reason behind "Fear Factor" created by Biplab Deb Govt among the public.
