Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev said, “Whether it was bye-election or civic body election we have seen the worst law and order situation in the state.

This is what the situation is prevailing in Tripura”, said Dev.
She further claimed that recently they have seen on social media that more than 100 motorcycles were parked in Agartala bearing registration numbers of Uttar Pradesh.
“On this topic, I have written a letter to the DGP but it is very unfortunate that DGP didn’t bother to reply to my letter. It is the responsibility of the DGP to give security to the opposition party leaders and its workers and it is his responsibility to give the answer about these motorcycles and for what purposes”, she said.
Lashing out at the BJP, Sushmita said that Tripura is now famous for ‘Bike Bahini’ across the country.
“We are demanding to the DGP to immediately inform about the motorcycles and what steps are being taken for the security for the opposition party workers, leaders”, she added.
