Accusing the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal of not giving democratic space to political opponents Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on April 8 claimed that BJP will come to power in the State in the coming days to usher in a peaceful, transparent and development-oriented regime.

Mr. Saha speaking at a felicitation programme organised by the BJP on the theme ' Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat' at the National Library here said a double-engine government can propel the growth of a State.

He urged the people of Bengal to go for this double engine model with the same party at the Centre and in the State.

Mr. Saha said while coming from the airport he could see flags and flexes of only the TMC. This shows that the TMC does not want to give any democratic space to the other Opposition parties.

You may not allow BJP flags but the saffron party has captured the imagination of common people who believe in the development and growth mantra of BJP, the ' Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat' concept enunciated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Tripura CM said.

"Didi the word of democracy sounds out of place when you utter this word. Everyone knows what is the situation in Bengal. How thousands of BJP karyakartas were attacked, beaten up, their houses looted, and made to flee from homes and how many were murdered and raped after the assembly elections here (in 2021).
