Saha Responds to Abhishek Debroy
During his address, Neel Kamal Saha directly responded to comments made by Tripura BJP president Abhishek Debroy about Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman.
Debroy had earlier questioned what political lessons could come from Roy Barman. He also accused the Congress MLA of seeking media attention through his conduct in the Assembly.
Furthermore, Debroy described the Congress as a “lost cause” and claimed that the BJP represented democracy and the interests of ordinary people.
Youth Congress President Defends Roy Barman
Saha strongly rejected Debroy’s criticism. He accused the BJP leader of forgetting his earlier political association with the Congress.
Saha claimed that Roy Barman played an important role in Debroy’s political journey. He also referred to Debroy’s earlier professional background while criticizing his present political position.
However, these claims formed part of Saha’s political attack during the protest and were not independently established in the statement.
Saha Highlights Roy Barman’s Public Outreach
Saha also defended Roy Barman’s work among the public. He claimed that the Congress MLA receives numerous calls from people seeking assistance with issues such as hospital beds and blood availability.
According to Saha, even some people associated with the BJP allegedly contact Roy Barman for help.
He used this claim to argue that Roy Barman remains connected with people and responds to their day-to-day concerns.
Attack on BJP and RSS
Saha also broadened his criticism by discussing the history of the Congress and its role in India’s freedom struggle.
He launched a sharp political attack on the RSS and referred to its historical role during the British period.
Saha further warned Debroy against making what he called disrespectful comments about Roy Barman. He described the Congress MLA as a leader who had earned the support and trust of ordinary people.
Youth Congress Raises Recruitment and Examination Issues
The six-hour sit-in focused on three demands raised by the Youth Congress.
During the protest, Saha criticised the state government over recruitment and examination-related matters. He also accused the government of adopting what he described as an “autocratic” approach to governance.
The Youth Congress argued that these issues affect young people who depend on fair recruitment and examination processes for employment opportunities.
Workers and Supporters Join Protest
Youth Congress workers and supporters participated in the mass sit-in at Bishalgarh.
While addressing the gathering, Saha extended greetings to participants on behalf of the Tripura Pradesh Youth Congress. He said the protest represented people who support the Congress but, according to the organisation, face difficulties under the present government.
The organisation reiterated its demand for action on recruitment, examinations and governance-related concerns.
Political Tensions Continue in Tripura
The exchange between the Youth Congress and the BJP highlights the continuing political confrontation in Tripura.
While the BJP has defended its position on governance and democracy, the Congress continues to raise questions about government functioning and employment-related issues.
The latest protest in Bishalgarh adds to the ongoing political debate in the state, particularly around recruitment, examinations and the performance of the government.
Importance of Bishalgarh in Tripura
Bishalgarh is an important town in Sepahijala district and forms part of Tripura’s political and administrative landscape. Political programmes held in the area often reflect wider debates over governance and public issues across the state.
The Youth Congress protest therefore carries significance for Tripura’s ongoing political discourse, especially among young people concerned about recruitment and examination opportunities.
