The opposition parties demanded compensation to the victims and immediate control in the law and order, but no development in the law and order issue came.
The Govt has shown no sympathy over the destruction and didn’t agree with the compensation demand.
Reacting over the ongoing violence, Congress leader Subal Bhowmik said, “Such level of anarchy was never seen in Tripura. The State is now handedover to a child. Who is whose guardian, nothing can be understood. Day night I am just busy in hospital visits”.
Addressing media Subal Bhowmik said, “This election is a shame for our country, where opposition had no place to raise voice. The way BJP miscreants are attacking people house to house, murdering this is nightmare and was never seen in Tripura. Now artists are not even spared. It’s quite surprising that a section of people are supporting such brutalities done by BJP. People could not cast votes and they are claiming they won the election. Now BJP-BJP fights have increased highest. Suryamaninagar MLA’s brother was beaten and then he also had beaten few more BJP supporters. In Bamutia also same things are happening. They are searching the criminals inside party but this is not just searching but infighting with area occupying issues”.
