Brinda Karat alleges Tripura govt, says failed to keep its poll promises

"Shun the path of jumlabazi and give the people what they want, Karat, who was here to attend a party programme said," Karat said.

CPI(M) politburo member Brinda Karat today alleged the BJP-led government in Tripura has failed to keep its poll promises even after spending five months in office.

By now, the youths of the state should have got smartphones and government employees received pay as per the recommendations of 7th Pay Commission as promised in the party's election manifesto, Karat told the media in the party office here.

"Where is (BJP national president) Amit Shah-ji? He must provide a job for each household. People of Tripura are suffering due to non-fulfillment of promises," she said.

"Shun the path of jumlabazi and give the people what they want, Karat, who was here to attend a party programme said," Karat said.

On the National Register of Citizens (NRC), the senior CPI(M) leader said no bonafide Indian should not be identified as the foreigner in the name of NRC exercise. Karat also expressed concern over the attacks on party leaders and supporters who were on a fundraising drive for Kerala flood victims.

"These acts were very unfortunate and undemocratic by a section of people backed by the ruling party. Everybody has the right to raise funds for lakhs of flood victims in Kerala," she said.
