The Bharatiya Janata Party-led Tripura Government run by Dr Manik Saha is thinking to reopen all political murder cases that took place during the Left Front regime after taking legal opinion.
“A total of 69 people were killed in South Tripura district alone during the Left Front regime. The number of casualties will be much higher if records of all the districts are put together”, said CM Manik Saha during an election rally at Banamalipur in Agartala.
“The government is considering reopening all the political murder cases that occurred during the Left Front rule for investigation and justice. We will seek opinions of legal experts on how to reopen the cases after the Lok Sabha polls conclude,” he said.
Taking a dig at Opposition parties, CM Manik cited the imprisonment of a high-profile personality on corruption charges and rifts within the Opposition INDIA bloc as indicators of impending change.
“One has already been jailed for corruption while the Congress could not team up with the CPIM in Kerala. The INDIA bloc is not united,” remarked the CM.
Exuding confidence in the BJP’s electoral prospects, CM Manik propagated a significant win for the NDA in the upcoming parliamentary elections, attributing it to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts towards inclusive development.
Earlier in the day, CM Manik took part in a bike rally in his constituency Town Bardowali, and urged voters to support Biplab Kumar Deb, the BJP nominee for Tripura West Lok Sabha constituency, which goes to voting on April 19.
