Union Home Minister Amit Shah in his second round of election campaigning in Tripura addressed two mega rallies in Chandipur and Charilam area of Tripura and in the evening participated in a big road show passes different thoroughfares of Agartala city

While addressing poll gathering at Chandipur, Amit Shah said that the February 16 Tripura Assembly elections was a battle between double engine versus triple "Apad" (trouble-makers) Left Front, Congress and the Tipra-Motha Party.

He claimed that the Congress and Left regimes were full of corruption and violence and if any one voted for them, the three 'Apad' would facilitate the return of corruption, violence and "cadre raj" again in Tripura.

He said that people of the state witnessed the functioning of LF and Congress governments, but they did not do nothing for the development of Tripura and real development comes after the formation of BJP government in 2018.

Shah said that the ‘double-engine’ government has ensured the development for all sections of the society and now after killing each other, both are sharing the same party offices with help of Tipra-Motha.

He said that "Cadre Raj" has dominated during the 25 years rule of the Left and CPI(M) forged alliance with Congress means they conceded defeat to the BJP. The Left party realized that they could not defeat the BJP. During the Left government, hundreds of Congress workers were murdered. Despite this, the Congress forged an alliance with the Left, Shah said.

The Communists have finished from the entire world and the Congress finished from the country, he claimed.

Without naming CPI-M state Secretary Jitendra Chowdhury, Shah claimed that the Left betrayed and deprived tribals for a long time in Tripura and now projecting a tribal leader as the chief ministerial face in the elections to fool people.

Shah claimed there are so many corruption cases in Left and Congress regimes in various sectors and added that there is not a single case of corruption in the five-year rule of BJP in Tripura.

Drug peddling and its extreme menace were at the peak of the Left regime and the BJP, after coming to power in 2018 launched a war against drugs to make Tripura a drugs drug-free state, said Shah.

Promising two gas cylinders to every poor household, he said that the saffron party-led government has already provided piped water connections, electricity and provided concrete houses to lakhs of families and these welfare activities would be stepped up after the BJP retained power for the second time.

"Modiji has restored peace in Tripura by signing an agreement with the NLFT (National Liberation Front of Tripura) militant outfit. Providing settlement to the 37,000 displaced Reang tribal, the 26 years old uncertainty of these tribal communities was resolved," Shah said.

By 2025, every eligible family would get a house under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and 50,000 college girls will get scooties, Rs 200 crore would be invested in the tea and rubber industry, farmers would get Rs 8000 per month and every tea worker's family would be allotted two Ganda (1,728 sq.ft.) land, said Shah.

Shah also addressed another election rally at Charilam and after returning to Agartala attended another mega road show, which started from Jogendranagar rail station and ended after covering a few assembly constituencies of Agartala city.
