The Opposition CPI(M) on Saturday (September 20, 2025) alleged that BJP-backed goons vandalised its party office with a bulldozer in West Tripura’s Pratapgarh area.

Leader of Opposition (LoP) Jitendra Chaudhury on Saturday (September 20) claimed the goons came to the CPI(M) local committee office around 1.30 a.m. with a bulldozer, and vandalised it.

“We have video clips showing the vandalism by BJP-backed miscreants,” he said.

Mr. Chaudhury, who is also the CPI(M) State Secretary, said the vandalism showed the BJP and RSS’s “respect for democratic values”. “The BJP, which came to power by making false promises, is looting public funds and destroying the democratic atmosphere of the state,” he claimed.

Describing the incident as a “cowardly act carried out under the cover of darkness”, he said the police have not acted on the complaint filed regarding it yet.

BJP District President Ashim Bhattacharjee refused to comment on the incident.
