Agartala: Tripura Congress has demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb for the alleged deterioration in the law and order situation in the state.
“A total lawlessness is sweeping the state as murder, rapes and rioting has become a daily routine in the BJP ruled state,” Congress leader and former minister Sudip Roy Barman told reporters in Agartala on Friday.
He said that in the past four months, the state has witnessed as many as 23 murders while rape cases have gone up from 127 in 2020 to 137 in 2021.
“Nobody is safe under the Biplab Kumar Deb regime as a doctor was attacked at workplace and goons attacked the personal security officer and driver of a former minister,” Roy Barman said.
The former minister said three persons of a family were murdered at a village in Dhalai district’s Kamalpur sub-division and one tribal girl was raped and murdered in Dhalai district’s Labancherra village in the past few days.
“The people of the state have not seen the DGP or top police officials visiting the crime spots to restore confidence of people,” he said.
“When the state is burning the chief minister keeps himself busy with attending programmes outside the state. TPCC in a meeting held on Thursday night decided to seek chief ministers’ resignation for failing to save the lives and properties of the people,” said the Congress leader
AICC secretary Szarita Litphlang and TPCC president also slammed the Biplab Kumar Deb government for unleashing terror across the state as it has “lost the people’s faith”
