AGARTALA, Nov 28 (TIWN): Tripura BJP yet to be ashamed of attacking journalists in state. After arresting women journalists, lodging UAPA cases against many, beating up journalists inside Police stations in broad-daylight inside police station, now BJP MP cum Central Minister Pratima Bhowmik claimed that journalists played a very negative role against BJP in Tripura Municipal Poll season.

No CCTV camera, no VVPAT was used in this poll and booth capturing, rigging footage are viral in social media though no action was taken by the police.

As expected, BJP started winning in the AMC Poll after massive rigging, booth capturing, fake vote casting and ‘chappa’ trend, the same method which BJP applied to win previous local body polls and Lok Sabha election in 2019.

State Election Commission has failed to take action against the BJP fake voters, violence organizers amid available video evidence. The fake vote (Chappa) continued after the majority of the voters could not cast votes on 25th November, and returned from the voting centre after they were told, ‘Your vote is cast’.
