Tripura is being destroyed by the central government and the state government together. Looting is going on from working class people.
There has been no increase in the wages of the workers since the coming of the present government. The present government could not take any positive role for the interests of workers. CITU State Committee General Secretary Shankar Prasad Dutta told a press conference of CITU state office on Friday, criticizing the current government.

Workers of the ruling party are looting 8 to 10 thousand taka per month from ONGC vehicle drivers. No survey team can come to Tripura. The state actually demands crores of rupees from them. Due to which it is not possible to extract the endless gas of the state.
When coal trucks and stone chips enter the state, BJP leaders are taking Rs 700 from each truck. Railway cars are actually making Rs 5,000 per lorry for various goods. Such politics is going on in an important centigrade like Battala. To enter the car at Battala Centrigrade, you have to pay 1 thousand rupees.
