Former Tripura Chief Minister and Lok Sabha Member of Parliament Biplab Kumar Deb did not hold back in his criticism of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPIM, labeling them as an “Emergency Party” during a recent speech at a sports event in Kumarghat, Unakoti District of Tripura.
Deb, who served as the Chief Minister of Tripura from 2018 to 2021, accused the CPIM of ruling the state for 35 years without working for the betterment of the people. He claimed that the CPIM leaders were ill-minded and had an ill mentality, leading to the destruction of the state during their long regime.
“They always assured people that they would work for them, but what they did was destroy the state. That is why I call them the Emergency Party. They have no other name. They are a permanent emergency for the state. They had no culture,” Deb said.
Furthermore, Deb alleged that the CPIM did not support the development of sports in Tripura, specifically mentioning the lack of infrastructure for Padma Shri awardee Dipa Karmakar. He claimed that the Left never wanted the state’s youth to progress in sports and hindered the growth of talented individuals like Karmakar.
“Communists never want the development of people, society, or the country. Even now, I dedicate only one hour for myself so that I can give the rest of the time to serve the people and the nation. When someone has good thinking, then by following the direction of PM Modi’s steps, we can take Tripura to new heights,” the MP asserted.
Deb emphasized the importance of engaging in sports and exercise for the youth to lead a healthy life. He also highlighted the significance of BJP, the party he belongs to, which he believes is rooted in Indian culture, Sanatan values, principles, and traditions.
While acknowledging the role of political parties, Deb made it clear that he sees BJP as the party that aligns with his vision for the future of Tripura. With a focus on development and progress, Deb urged the youth to pursue sports and physical activity as a means of leading a fulfilling and healthy life.
