Alleging widespread failures of the BJP-led council of Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) and highlighting various civic problems faced by residents, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Jitendra Chaudhury has appealed to voters to ensure a massive victory for Left Front candidates in the upcoming municipal elections.
A street-corner election meeting was organized at Advisor Chowmuhani in Agartala in support of Left Front candidates Aparupa Debbarma from Ward No. 19, the candidate from Ward No. 18, and Baishali Majumder from Ward No. 17 on Thursday evening. Leader of the Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury, along with other Left Front leaders and candidates, attended the meeting.
Addressing the gathering, Chaudhury strongly criticized the functioning of the BJP-led municipal corporation. He alleged that corruption and irregularities had increased under the BJP government, while the financial burden on ordinary people had also risen.
Referring particularly to the increase in water charges, electricity charges and various taxes, he highlighted the difficulties faced by common people due to the growing financial burden.
He further alleged that the present municipal corporation had failed to play its expected role in ensuring proper civic amenities and resolving the everyday problems of residents.
Appealing to voters, Chaudhury urged them to respond to the alleged failures of the BJP-led municipal administration through their votes and ensure a massive victory for Left Front candidates in the upcoming elections.
The meeting witnessed the participation of Left Front workers and supporters, who gathered as part of the party’s election campaign in the area.
