Agartala October 8: Opposition leader Animesh Debbarma finally opened his mouth. After a lot of things happened in the last few months including electricity tariff hike, Agartala Municipal Corporation imposition of wealth tax on residents, hawker eviction drive from the city, PAN card and Aadhaar card linking PAN card and Aadhaar card scam to cut pocket money, many things happened. This is what the political circles think.
Because on Sunday he held a press conference and raised these issues one by one to the media and protested and expressed regret for the people. But he did not announce any movement on behalf of the main opposition party. He held a press conference in the assembly and said that the government has increased the electricity tariff even though it could not provide electricity service to the people properly. Regarding this issue, he said in a tone of protest that load seeding is going on in urban areas. There are not enough vehicles in the offices of Bidyut Nigam. Improve the condition of rural areas. Referring to his Assembly constituency Asaram house, he said that once the power goes out, it takes three to four days to restore the power. Therefore, he claimed that it was necessary to give importance to how to properly serve the people without increasing the electricity tariff of the government. He said that the minister is only saying that he will make Tripura drug free.
But the opposition parties are not getting any hope from them about how to make Tripura drug free. If the government really wants to make drug free Tripura, then there is a need to look into what kind of drugs are being administered in the drug free centers. So, it is not enough to just say words, he expressed the hope that necessary steps should be taken to build a drug-free Tripura. Regarding the eviction of small traders in the Agartala Pur Nigam area, he said that such activity is very inhumane before Durga Puja. He raised questions to the Municipal Corporation about how there was no mercy for these small businessmen because Agartala city is a corporate city. He claimed that before Durga Puja, everyone wants to meet the needs of the family by doing business in this city. He expressed his regret that the tyranny of money is going on before Durga Puja. He said, on the way from Dharmanagar, people are betting on money.
From his own experience, he told the government to stop the oppression of Chandar for the people. And how many people have been arrested so far also wants to know the matter that attracts the attention of the government, claiming that he has seen this kind of extortion for the first time this year. Regarding wealth tax, he said the mayor is saying wealth has not increased. But again, going to people’s homes, make wealth like this. And the opposition party leader expressed doubts about whether this is Swachh Tripura. He also said linking Aadhaar card with PAN card may be necessary. But people’s pockets are being cut by 1000 rupees. If the state government wanted, it could have demanded from Delhi for annexation with twenty to fifty rupees instead of 1000 rupees. He said that the government is not doing anything.
