Agency (Agartala): Leader of Opposition in the Tripura Assembly, Jitendra Chowdhury, condemned the descendants of the royal family for collaborating with the BJP in seeking electoral support. Chowdhury accused them of exploiting indigenous communities during their centuries-long rule, highlighting historical atrocities such as the killing of tribal girls who opposed oppressive taxation.
Paying tribute to victims of royal oppression, Chowdhury emphasized the importance of rejecting both the descendants of the princely regime and their BJP allies in the upcoming parliamentary elections. He urged voters to honor democratic principles by opposing forces seeking to revive past exploitation.
The political landscape in Tripura is marked by a clash between historical legacies and contemporary democratic aspirations. With the parliamentary elections looming, Chowdhury’s call to reject the descendants of the royal family and their BJP partners underscores the complex interplay of identity, history, and governance in the northeastern state.
