Bharatiya Janata Party national president J.P. Nadda lauded the work done under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said the government has “brought an end to political violence”. PM Modi’s administration has created an “atmosphere of peace” in the state.
Addressing a press conference Nadda said, “CPM’s rule of 35 years hasn’t done anything for women, ignored tribal, exploited youths. They encouraged terrorism and infiltration. The insurgency was at its peak and drug smuggling was a thriving business.”
Meanwhile, BJP national president Nadda also slammed the Communist Party of India (Marxist) government for “encouraging terrorism and infiltration” in the state.
“Political violence has stopped in Tripura. Earlier we used to hear about the incidents of political violence day in and day out. We are in the government today and can say responsibly that we have brought an end to political violence by creating an atmosphere of peace. There has been a huge decline in terrorist activities,” Nadda said.
Ahead of Assembly polls in the state JP Nadda is on a two-day visit to Tripura.
Nadda further said, “When the government was formed in Tripura under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Biplab Deb and it was later handled by Manik Saha, development took place in every area. BJP government worked for the all-around development of Tripura. It means huge investment is being done in the infrastructure sector, industrial development has sped up, and sports and adventure sports have been encouraged. Natural farming has been encouraged and tourism has been brought into focus under the BJP government. Tripura has taken a quantum leap towards not only state connectivity or national connectivity, but also international connectivity.”
“The empowerment of women has been done in letter and spirit. 33 percent of reservation has been provided in the govt jobs. The Self-Help groups have increased by 7 times. These groups have been encouraged and supported by the government,” Nadda added.
“The agricultural income has doubled from Rs 6,500 per month to Rs 11,000 per month. 2.5 lakh people have been given houses under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. There was one national highway in the state, and now work is underway on six national highways of 542 km worth Rs 7,000 crore. The landless laborers who worked in the tea garden have been given ownership of land, and Rs 85 crore is being spent on education, health, and electricity. Tripura is not the land of referral hospitals today, it is a place where you are having knee surgery, neurosurgery, and all types of surgeries,” Nadda said.
Moreover, on 29 August at Tripura University Nadda paid floral tributes to the statue of Dr. Shyamaprasad and Deendayal Upadhyaya and 8 mandals of workers welcomed Nadda.
However, at the Matabari temple in Udaipur Nadda also offered prayers.
