Sudip Roy Barman maintained that his party believes in peace and winning people's hearts through unity and brotherhood.

Tripura Congress leader Sudip Roy Barman has made a big allegation, stating that nearly 3500 party candidates were barred from filing their nominations for the ensuing Panchayat elections in the state.

Barman alleged that Congress candidates were being threatened and had to face violence while they went for filing nominations.

The big charge by the Congress leader comes after a party delegation met Governor Indrasena Reddy Nallu and sought his intervention into escalating unabated incidents of political violence in the state.

Sudip Roy Barman said that his party believes in peace and winning people’s hearts through unity and brotherhood.

On Thursday, the violence erupted during the last day of filing of nomination papers  when several Congress supporters, including candidates and Congress Working Committee (CWC) member and MLA Sudip Roy Barman, were allegedly attacked by political party workers, the Congress claimed.

The Congress has claimed that members of the party including Roy Barman were injured in the incident. A few police personnel were also injured in the attack.

Speaking to media, MLA Sudip Roy Barman said that the attack was not an isolated case and highlighted a pattern of similar assaults on Opposition candidates and supporters, as well as instances of arson targeting homes and party offices in the days leading up to the elections.

Roy Barman, a former Minister also criticised the police for their inaction, accusing them of being passive observers and, in some cases, victims of physical assault by BJP goons.
