Reacting to this, the Tripura Chief Minister said,”We have received some inputs about disturbances from some places, I have informed the DGP. I told the DGP to book everyone, whoever it is whether they are our party workers or workers of other parties.”

Chief Minister Manik Saha also added,”Dont’ take law into your own hands, the government and the police will do its job.”

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Saha also appealed BJP workers not to resort to any kind of violence.

Saha further reiterated about the BJP’s agenda for inclusive growth and development. He said,”Whether it is TIPRA Motha or anyone else, we want the tribal areas to develop, we will do as much as possible for that.”

However, the Tripura Chief Minister in clear terms said,”We do not agree Greater Tipraland.”
