Agartala, July 11: Trinamool Congress (TMC) would implement the ‘Bengal model of governance’ in Tripura and it would continue its fight unless the BJP government voted out in the northeastern state, party leaders announced here on Monday.
The TMC has set up its state party headquarters on Monday, two-and-a-half months after West Bengal’s ruling party had announced a 132-member full-fledged state committee in the BJP-ruled Tripura.
After Assam and Meghalaya, the Trinamool Congress, headed by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, on Monday has set up its Tripura state party headquarters in Agartala.
After the inauguration of the state party headquarters at Chittaranjan Road along the heart of the capital city, TMC’s Tripura state in-charge Rajib Banerjee quoting party’s National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, said : “Tripura is our next goal. We are following that. We would implement the Bengal model of governance into the state and continue to oust BJP from the governance.”
All the social sector schemes launched by the Bengal government would be implemented in Tripura once the TMC came to power in Tripura after the early next year’s assembly elections, he said.
TMC’s Tripura state President Subal Bhowmik said that the people of Tripura had been waiting for this day when the BJP would be voted out of power.
“Even last night, the ruling party tried to create obstructions to halt the inauguration of our party office. But the people of Tripura are with us and they want Mamata Banerjee’s leadership to free Tripura of the oppressive BJP regime,” Bhowmik said
“Our fight to win the 2023 Assembly elections and we are clear on our goals,” he said.
TMC’s Rajya Sabha member Sushmita Dev highlighted how “democracy was being muzzled in Tripura.
“In a democratic country, it took a political party one year to establish their own party office in another state. This was not due to the lack of our efforts but other reasons.
We want to assure all sections of people that we will stand by their side and fight for them. We will fight the 2023 Assembly elections not through bullets or violence but through democracy,” she said.
