The Congress leaders lambasted the BJP for establishing “Goonda-Raj” in Tripura.
Reacting to the violent incident at Khayerpur on Thursday, TPCC president Birajit Sinha said, “Yesterday’s attack was completely pre-planned and police remained silent spectators. The actual man responsible for the attack on Congress leaders and activists is minister Sushanta Choudhury and we demand his sacking from the ministry”.

Now it is clear that the jobs provided by BJP are stone pelting and hooliganism job in exchange of Rs 500-1,000 as per-day income”.
Szarita added, “The Police officers should be ashamed of what they did yesterday, the SPO who assured us to take us to the police station failed to protect the Congress leaders and activists”.
Injured Congress leader Sushanta Choudhury also attended the press meet.
Former TPCC president Gopal Roy, senior Congress leader Asish Kumar Saha also remained present at the press conference on Thursday.
