Former Tripura Chief Minister warned that the current CM's recent statements could embolden hooligan elements within the ruling party.
Former Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar publicly criticized remarks made by the current Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, saying they could encourage hooligan elements within the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
Sarkar, who led the state from 1998 to 2012, warned that such statements might embolden fringe groups involved in anti-social activities across Tripura.
He added that this rhetoric could undermine the party's image and destabilize the political climate in the northeastern state.
The comments come amid growing concerns over rising communal tensions and the need for calm and constructive dialogue in Tripura.
