Agartala (Tripura) [India], December 6 : Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said that politics based on spreading confusion, creating division, and inciting communalism will never be fruitful, and that the BJP-led government is working for the overall development of the Janajati community.
CM Saha said this while participating in an organisational function at Barakathal Bazar under the Simna Assembly constituency on Saturday.
CM Saha welcomed 107 families comprising 312 dedicated voters who joined the Bharatiya Janata Party.
While addressing the gathering organised by Simna Mandal, CM Saha said that a few days ago, it was stated that national political parties like the Bharatiya Janata Party would not be allowed to enter the TTAADC area.
"We often hear threats. So I am saying one thing--that the more threats are given, the stronger we will become. What I have heard is that here, in Barakathal Bazar, no activities will be allowed, the Chief Minister will not be allowed to come, the Janajati Welfare Minister will not be allowed to come, and no one from the BJP will be allowed to come. But this place is not anyone's personal property. This property belongs to everyone. Any party can go anywhere. But the BJP will never tolerate intimidation through force or different forms of pressure," said CM Saha.
The Chief Minister said that Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee sacrificed his life in Jammu and Kashmir to protect the integrity of the country, and Pandit Deen Dayal was also killed in Mughalsarai.
"BJP is one of the best parties in the whole of India. We have no conflict with regional parties. They will do whatever they want to do. But politics that spreads confusion or division in various ways and provokes communal sentiments will never be fruitful. This has been proven in the past as well. Development cannot happen through such politics. So I will again say that the doors of the BJP are still open for those who think like this but are being misled by others through misinterpretation. I urge all of them to join the banner of the BJP, because the graph of the BJP is gradually rising," said CM Saha.
Speaking at the meeting, the Chief Minister also said that peace has now been established in the North East under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Earlier, many people were inclined towards extremism, especially some people from the Janajati section. Because they did not understand who their real guardian was. Some people misled them for their personal interests. Today, about 11-12 agreements have been signed in the North East, bringing peace. But still, efforts are being made to weaken the country," said CM Saha.
The Chief Minister stated that due to the tireless efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 7 prominent personalities from the Janajati section of the state have been awarded the Padma Shri consecutively.
"After our government came to power, Agartala Airport has been dedicated in the name of Maharaj Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur, the architect of modern Tripura. The day of Saangramma Puja has been declared a restricted holiday. The government holiday for Gariya Puja has been increased from one day to two days," he said.
The program was attended by Janajati Welfare Minister Bikas Debbarma, BJP General Secretary Bipin Debbarma, West District Sadar Grameen President Gauranga Bhowmik, Janajati Morcha Vice President Mangal Debbarma, Lefunga RD Block BAC Chairman Ranbir Debbarma, and other top leaders and workers.
