Many RSS & BJP workers from other states now in Tripura: Dhar

The ruling Left Front today said that thousands of RSS and BJP workers from other states are now in Tripura and expressed apprehension that they may create "subversive" activities ahead of the February 18 state Assembly election.
Convener of the ruling Left Front in Tripura, Bijan Dhar told the people to remain alert about the activities of thousands of RSS and BJP workers now in the state.
"We have noticed that thousands of RSS and BJP workers from Assam and other states are now staying in the state. We have the concern that they might create subversive activities ahead of the elections", Dhar said at a news conference here.

The Left Front Convener said he took up the matter with the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Sriram Taranikanti today and informed him about his concern.
The CEO informed that if any citizen comes to the state before the elections for election campaign, business or as tourists he cannot do anything, Dhar said.
"But, the CEO categorically said that 48-hours before the election, nobody would be allowed to stay in and around the polling stations and he would ensure it", Dhar said.

He alleged that one CPI-M worker was injured in an attack at Durganagar area of Khowai district and two CPI-M supporters were injured and a party booth office was ransacked at Paschim Joynagar, near here yesterday night.

He alleged that in both the incidents, the outsiders were involved.
When contacted, SP (Police Control), Pradip De said they received complaints of both the incidents and police was investigating the cases.
