He said, “There was a time when the Communists in Tripura used to claim that their election campaign by winning the 20 ST-reserved assembly seats. Now, those days are gone, because the tribals in Tripura have come out of their grip.”
Deb also castigated the leader of opposition Jitendra Choudhury on Wednesday over calling Pradyot Kishore Deb Burman a ‘traitor’. He said, “Pradyot was good when he gave you a free run in the last year's assembly election in Sabroom by not fielding a candidate. The same man became a traitor when he met PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for the welfare of the indigenous people.”
