Former Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has publicly accused the current CM Dr Manik Saha of failing to address police cases that expose the state government’s extreme weakness.
Former Chief Minister of Tripura, Manik Sarkar, voiced strong criticism against the current Chief Minister, Dr Manik Saha, over a series of police cases that he says highlight the government’s extreme weakness. In a statement released earlier today, Sarkar accused the present administration of neglecting law‑and‑order issues and allowing a surge of criminal activity.
Sarkar, a veteran leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), pointed out that the police cases, which have been piling up in recent months, reflect systemic failures in governance and oversight. He called on the state machinery to take immediate action to curb the rise in crime and restore public confidence.
The remarks come amid growing public concern over rising crime rates in Tripura. While Dr Saha has not yet responded to the allegations, the former CM’s comments have sparked debate among political observers and citizens alike about the effectiveness of the current administration’s law‑and‑order policies.
