Tripura’s Leader of Opposition trains guns against ruling BJP, alleging corruption

Agartala, March 8 (UNI) Leader of the Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury today accused the ruling BJP in Tripura of institutionalising corruption, asserting that a rampant "loot raj" has taken hold across the state.
Chaudhury expressed concerns over the political and social climate under the current regime. He said that the BJP-led government at the Centre has engineered a complex political scenario in Tripura that he described as avoidable. He further alleged that their governance prioritises protecting the interests of major capitalists above all else.
Chaudhury emphasised that this approach has severely impacted marginalised communities, particularly those from backward and Dalit backgrounds, who are now facing deepening crises on multiple fronts.
