Talking to media, Asish Saha said, “Before 4 and half years, we had joined the BJP to end the unruly atmosphere under the then Govt. But in the last 4 and half years we never felt that the new Govt which was formed as a democratic Govt. This Govt turned anti-people and now the people of Tripura are against the BJP. We tried to correct the party and also met the National BJP leaders but we could not convince the National BJP leaders to rectify the unruly Govt in the state of Tripura. We are in politics for the people and for people’s welfare we have joined Congress. Under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, this country will get the correct direction”.
