Agartala: Jan 17: Gouranga Rudra Pal, state president of ‘Amara Bangali’, addressed the media, alleging that ministers and MLAs have increased their own salaries, neglecting the promises made to the public.
In a related event, ‘Amara Bangali’ workers paid tribute to the late Nitaibabu and protested against the salary and allowance increases for ministers and MLAs.
Gouranga Rudra Pal criticized the BJP government, stating that in the past six years, the lack of employment and rising prices of essential commodities have made survival difficult for the unemployed, laborers, and common people. He argued that the government’s decision to increase salaries and allowances for ministers and MLAs, while ignoring the basic needs of the unemployed and laborers, is exacerbating the situation.
He further alleged that both ruling and opposition party ministers and MLAs are prioritizing their own comfort over fulfilling their promises to the people.
‘Amara Bangali’ demands the implementation of the 2018 election promises, control of price rises, and the adoption of development plans to provide employment for all citizens of the state.
