Tripura: CPIM urges ECI to check choppers, cars of BJP leaders

Tripura’s main opposition CPIM has written letters to the Chief Election Commissioner of India on Wednesday demanding checking of chartered flights, choppers and cars used by central BJP leaders, as they are carrying huge cash to bribe the voters.

The letter reads that the operation of chartered flights and helicopters in MBB airport in Agartala has increased to an unusual scale, which mostly belong to the ruling BJP.

The letter claimed that this cash money would be used to bribe the voters in an illegal manner and therefore, requested the CEC to order checking of the chartered flights and helicopters used by any individual leaders at the airport and extend the working hour of the check posts in various points of Tripura round the clock.

The letter further requested thorough checking of all the cars including of any high rank political leaders before giving passes in the check posts.
