Union Minister Pratima Bhoumik claimed that the minority people are safe in Tripura under BJP rule and there is “no restriction” on religious practices.

In a program in Bishalgarh under Sepahijala district on Sunday evening, she slammed the CPIM for launching a propaganda campaign before the 2018 assembly elections.

She said that CPIM spread false propaganda that if the BJP comes to power in Tripura, minority communities would be sent to Bangladesh.

The Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment clarified that the truth is all minority people are now free to perform their rituals in the state.

Bhoumik also claimed that the BJP does not discriminate among people while providing government benefits.

The minister added that the BJP government has prioritised women empowerment by making themselves self-reliant and financially independent.

Bhowmik also admitted that the performance of BJP in the 2018 assembly elections was not satisfactory in Sepahijala, as they won only three of nine constituencies of the district.
The West District MP Bhowmik hoped that the BJP will bag a huge victory in the district in the 2023 elections with support from minority voters.
