Don't let days of bloodshed return to Tripura: Assam CM Himanta to voters

Noting that peace is prevailing in Tripura under the BJP-led government, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma appealed to the voters not to let the "days of bloodshed" return to the northeastern state.

Addressing the Jan Vishwas Rally in Killa area of Gomati district on Monday, he said Tripura’s "development speed" is at 100 kmph under the ruling BJP-led dispensation.

"Tripura was earlier known for killings, murders and rapes but now peace is prevailing. Don’t let those days of bloodshed return to the state," he said. Asserting that Tripura has witnessed massive growth under the BJP rule, the NEDA (North East Democratic Alliance) convenor said the northeastern state would have developed at a much higher pace, at 120 kmph, had the COVID pandemic not struck.
