Agartala: Trinamool Congress’s Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev has wrote to Director General of Police (Tripura) Amitabh Ranjan demanding an investigation into the presence of a huge number of motorbikes in Agartala with the registration number of Uttar Pradesh.
She smelled that the ruling BJP has brought a large number of motorcycles into the state from Uttar Pradesh, which will be used for terrorizing the voters and creating trouble during the upcoming election to the Tripura assembly barely after four months.
“I am writing to you to bring to your notice that to the best of my information several two-wheelers are being bought by BJP and transported into the state having registration of Uttar Pradesh. I have apprehension that given the past record of Tripura the motorcycles will be misused during assembly polls,” Dev underlined.
She told the media on Tuesday that in the last four and half years of BJP’s rule, Tripura has witnessed relentless violence, attacks, and atrocities on the opposition supporters and the common people by the motor-bike-borne rowdies hired by BJP.
Not only during elections but they were also used for vandalizing party offices of opposition, attacking the houses of the people who criticized the misrule of the BJP, and murderous attacks on TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee and other top leaders. The rallies and meetings of all the opposition parties were attacked by motorbike-driven anti-social elements, Dev pointed out.
Earlier, Trinamool Congress had to move court seeking direction against the deteriorating law and order situation of Tripura and the high court directed the Chief Secretary to submit a report but, even then no one was arrested yet, Dev stated.
She added that the dismal scene of Tripura’s law and order was reflected in the report of the National Crime Record Bureau 2021, which indicated Tripura as a state with the highest number of cases of political violence.
