Former Minister and Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman said, "Nobody can do anything to Rahul Gandhi because he is blessed by the public.

In a dramatic show of dissent, the Tripura Congress today staged a protest, burning effigies of NDA leaders in response to recent threats made against Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi.

The protest was sparked by comments made by Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu, Delhi BJP leader Tarvinder Singh Marwah, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) MLA Sanjay Gaikwad during an event of BJP on September 11.

State Congress president Asish Kumar Saha filed a complaint against them at the West Agartala Police Station in this regard and accused them of inciting violence against Rahul Gandhi.

According to the complaint, Tarvinder Singh Marwah openly issued an assassination threat, stating, “Rahul Gandhi baaz aaja, nahi toh aane wale time mein tera bhi wohi haal hoga jo teri dadi ka haal hua” (you better behave, or you will meet the same fate as your grandmother) referring to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s assassination.

On September 16, Gaikwad publicly offered a bounty of Rs 11 lakh to anyone who would “cut the tongue” of Rahul Gandhi, Saha said in the complaint.

He said that the threats posed a serious risk to Rahul Gandhi’s safety and were part of a broader campaign to incite hatred against Gandhi and the Congress party.

Saha also raised concerns about the law and order situation in Tripura and alleged that Opposition party leaders, their houses and offices are not safe under BJP.

Former Minister and Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman also criticized these remarks, alleging that they were deliberate distractions meant to divert attention from the government’s failures.

He also said, “Nobody can do anything to Rahul Gandhi because he is blessed by the public. He is more a saint than a political leader.”

Barman also pointed out that despite 100 days of the Modi government’s third term, there was nothing positive to showcase, rather India under Modi has declined in fields which is clear from the global indicators, such as its fall to 111th place in the Global Hunger Index.
