After the opposition CPI(M), the congress party on Tuesday accused the ruling BJP of violence ahead of the panchayat elections.
Addressing a press conference here at Agartala Congress Bhavan, Congress Tripura in-charge Ajoy Kumar alleged that the incidents of violence and oppression have increased after the announcement of Panchayat elections in the state, where the BJP has targeted the congress and other oppositions to discover attack on the party workers.
He said that the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday announced Gaurav Gogoi and Tariq Anwar as AICC observers to Tripura, with regard to attacks on party workers allegedly by the ruling party.
Kumar alleged that Lok Sabha elections alone saw over 1,000 incidents of violence and intimidation on party workers.
“Hundreds of our dedicated workers were brutally beaten and their properties vandalised at the hands of the ruling regime. It is this grave situation in Tripura that not just the people of India should be privy about, but the whole world should witness the systematic death of democracy,” he claimed.
