The BJP-ruled Tripura is far ahead of West Bengal in terms of per capita income which is ₹1, 25,191 per year as against Bengal's ₹1, 15,748, says Sushanta Chowdhury
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday, November 1, 2021, alleged that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) hatched a conspiracy against the Biplab Deb government in the state to destabilise it and to help the opposition CPI(M) come to power again.
State Information and Culture Minister Sushanta Chowdhury also claimed the TMC, which has "no support base" in the northeastern state, has been struggling to expand its organisational strength.
"TMC's national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee finds it difficult to expand its organisation. The party, which considers the BJP as its main enemy, hatched a conspiracy to help CPI-M come to power. Yesterday, he said the erstwhile Left government was better than the BJP's regime," Mr. Chowdhury, the saffron party leader told reporters here.
