Kailasahar Nov 19: A press conference was held at Kailasahar District Congress Bhavan on Saturday, in view of the “Tripura Bachao-Bharat Jodo Yatra in Kailasahar.

District Congress President Md. Badruzzaman strongly criticized various policies of the Centre and the State Government in the press conference.

Addressing the press conference Badruzzaman said, Bharat Jodo Tripura Bachao program is going to be held in all the sixty assembly constituencies of the state.

Saturday the Walkathon (March) started from Agartala Congress Bhavan on the occasion of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s birth anniversary.

To make the program a success in Kailasahar and its adjoining areas, a preparatory meeting was held on Saturday along with the Congress party leaders and members.

“Kushashan is going on Tripura in the name of Sushashan” under the BJP-led state government.Besides, there is rampant corruption in each and every sector.

The similar allegations were raised by Unakoti District Congress President Md. Badruzzaman.

He added that the workers of the ruling party are involved in all sorts of crimes and corruption.

leaders and workers of the Congress party reached out to the doorsteps of the common people in at least 11 wards out of the 17 wards of Kailashahar Municipality and tried to know their problems.

“People complained that the drainage system of several areas in the city is very poor. There are no street lights on several streets. Not enough houses receive clean drinking water. Even after repeatedly informing the elected municipal councillor of the specific area, no solution was found”, said the Congress leaders.

The district Congress president said before the municipal polls, it was said that every eligible person above 60 would be given allowances and also the Divyangjans would be given specific government benefits.

But now it is seen that hundreds of eligible persons in every ward are not being given allowance despite being above 60.

There is a sufficient amount of money allocated in the municipality but least is spent for people’s welfare, alleged MD Badruzzaman.

“Bharat Jodo Tripura Bachao has officially started on Saturday, and in view of this, a huge colourful procession will be held from Tilabazar area on Sunday next.

All the state level leaders along with All India Congress Committee Secretary Szarita Laitphlang will be present at the event on November 20.

The District Congress President said that a march will be held in every assembly of the district for a week.

Apart from Md. Badruzzaman, Kailashahar Block Congress president Ashish Sengupta, Congress leaders Tapan Das, Dilip Das, Rupeshwar Sinha, Runu Miya and other leaders were present in the press conference.
