NEW DELHI / AGARTALA, May 14 (TIWN): PM Modi’s “Sab-Ka-Sath, Sab-Ka-Bikas” propaganda turned ironical in Tripura as a big hole was spotted in the unity amid “Ek Tripura Shrestha Tripura” slogan of the local BHAJAPA at there. With a shocking report, it has been revealed that at least 255 rioting cases were filed in police stations across Tripura in 2018 a drastically hike than the previous years. However, the mainstream media limelight could not put a light in that major issue.Police report has revealed the rioting incidents had increased in Tripura since 2017 (pre-Assembly-election season). It's the time when BJP as opposition came in alliance with IPFT, the party which demanded a separate land for Tripura’s indigenous people, organized a road blockade in Baramura for long 11 days on National Highway.
