Tripura BJP spokesperson Dr. Ashok Sinha Wednesday said that coming first in the country in MG NREGA implementation is a matter of shame and not something that should be flaunted.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP state headquarters last evening, Sinha criticized opposition CPI (M) MLA Ratan Bhowmik and MP Jitendra Chaudhary for tellies “lies” about starvation deaths in BJP ruled Tripura.
MP Chaudhary previously alleged that Japanda Tripura of East Govindabari village of Dhalai district, 110 Km from here, died due to starvation.
On the issue, Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) chief executive member Radhacharan Debbarma said that tribal people in rural Tripura are facing severe crisis of jobs due to breakdown of unskilled labour under MG NREGA.
