Bratya Basu appeals to CPI(M) supporters to switch camps
Criticising the Opposition CPI(M) in Tripura for allegedly not coming out on the streets to protest against the “State-sponsored terror tactics” of the BJP and protect its supporters, senior Trinamool Congress leader Bratya Basu on Saturday appealed to the Left supporters to join the Mamata Banerjee-led party. The CPI(M), which ruled the State for 25 years before being ousted by a BJP-led coalition in 2018, however, denied the charge and said its workers and leaders were the first to face the attack of the BJP. “When the BJP has let loose a reign of terror in Tripura, the leaders of the main Opposition party CPI(M) are not coming out on the streets to protest. If the leaders do not stand by the supporters, they should join our party,” Mr. Basu, also a Minister in West Bengal, said.More Related News
