Agartala, Aug 12: The leader of opposition and former chief minister of Tripura Manik Sarkar lambasted the ruling BJP government and said that the electoral process is becoming ‘farce’ in the hands of the saffron brigades with the secularism, federal structure, and rights of people brought ‘at stake' under the BJP-led government at the Centre

Sarkar was addressing a rally organised by the Students' Federation of India (SFI), the student wing of CPI-M, and the Tribal Students' Federation here at Agartala.

“The institutions which are built to safeguard the constitution are under attack now,” alleging this Sarkar said, "The Election Commission of India and its electoral process, which is supposed to create a level playing ground for all the political parties, be it oppositions or the ruling parties, are now being handled by the saffron party. The election has become a farce at the hands of the BJP as people in power are using money and muscle power.”

Sarkar continued castigating the BJP led government at the centre and said, “The Lok Sabha has turned into a stage for puppet show now, where 15-16 Bills are passed in a day leaving no scope for discussions under the rule of this BJP government. It is an attempt to attack the foundation of Parliamentary democracy.”
