The recent report of NCRB clearly shows the true picture of extreme deterioration of law and order and suppression of opposition during BJP rule in Tripura.Incidentally, BJP All India President JP Nadda claimed a few days back that there is no political unrest in Tripura. But the NCRB report under Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s office clearly states that Tripura has the highest political violence among the eight northeastern states.

In 2021, there were 117 incidents of riots in Tripura. 259 people were injured in that incident. But the previous year in 2020 there were 22 political clashes in Tripura.

Ministers, MPs, MLAs, even constitutional office bearers have been attacked. However, the most affected are the leaders and workers of the opposition party. Opposition party offices were vandalized and burnt. The media criticizing the government was not left out.

According to the NCRB report, the finger of blame has been pointed at the ruling BJP in every case of rising riots and political violence.Several NCRB officials have already taken a separate look at the alarming situation in Tripura. Trinamool MP Sushmita Dev’s reaction to the whole issue is that the BJP government is using crores of rupees to support political terror in Tripura instead of spending on development. Our team has been complaining about this for a long time. It is a shame that Tripura has come out on top in terms of political violence among North Eastern states. Common people want to get rid of this situation.
