"BJP Reign Of Terror In 10 Places": Former Tripura Chief Minister

The CPM said the ruling BJP attacked the party headquarters and district office in Agartala, southern Tripura's Udaipur, Santir Bazar, Western Tripura's Dukli, and at Boxanagar, Bishalgarh and Khatalia in Sepehijala districts

At least eight important party offices of the main opposition CPM in Tripura were burnt down or damaged, and many vehicles and other assets smashed on Wednesday in Agartala and three other districts, said the police and party sources.   The CPM leaders -- including party's politburo member and former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar -- said workers and leaders of the ruling BJP resorted to these attacks on the party headquarters and district office in Agartala, southern Tripura's Udaipur, Santir Bazar, Western Tripura's Dukli, and at Boxanagar, Bishalgarh and Khatalia in Sepehijala districts. The BJP leaders, however, denied the allegations. The CPM's district office at Bishalgarh was first damaged by a bulldozer then set on fire, reducing most of the assets and papers to ashes. Six vehicles and more than a dozen two-wheelers were burnt down in Agartala and other places, CPM has claimed.
