"We don't want 'duare gunda' (goons at the door steps), we want duare sarkar (government at the door step). Tripura will not be controlled from Delhi but by Tripura's people," Trinamool's Abhishek Banerjee said.
The June 23 by-polls to four assembly seats will begin the end of BJP governance in Tripura and the end will be the assembly polls due next year, Trinamool Congress National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee said on Tuesday after participating in a road show.
Addressing an election meeting in state capital Agartala, Mr Banerjee said: "You (the BJP) have Enforcement Directorate, CBI, Income Tax, we have the support of the people. The CBI chose this day (Tuesday) to interrogate my wife (Rujira Narula Banerjee) because they didn't want me to come here (Tripura)."
"But no force can stop us. We don't want 'duare gunda' (goons at the door steps), we want duare sarkar (government at the door step). Tripura will not be controlled from Delhi but by Tripura's people," he added.
Referring to former Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb quitting the top post, the Trinamool leader said the change of face will not stave off the BJP's defeat in the 2023 assembly polls.
