In an apparent embarrassment for Tripura’s BJP government, rebel party legislator Sudip Roy Barman on Saturday claimed that there is no democracy in the state and people are suffocating.
Barman, who was dropped as the health minister in 2019, said he would decide on his future course of action after taking the opinion of the people.
The assembly election is due in the state in 2023.
“There is no shred of democracy in the state. People are suffocating because democratic oxygen has exhausted,” Barman told reporters here.
The MLA, his close associate Asish Saha and their followers are touring different parts of the state for the last few days to interact with people "who had played a key role in dethroning the CPI(M) and bring the BJP to power”, he said.

“We have started the process of hearing the voice of the oppressed people. Their voice is choked now," Barman said.
