Congress to launch statewide agitation against ECI from Aug 22 in Tripura
Agartala, Aug 19 (UNI) Tripura Pradesh Congress announced a statewide agitation from August 22 to September 6 against the alleged large-scale vote theft and manipulation of the electoral process. The state Congress President Ashish Kumar Saha accused Election Commission of India (ECI) of colluding with the BJP-led government to curtail the constitutional rights of citizens, and said, 'The most surprising thing is that ECI has joined hands with the government in a conspiracy to deprive people of their voting rights.' Saha said that Congress was staging protests across the country against this trend. As part of the nationwide programme, the Tripura unit will launch an intensive study of the voter list alongside a series of protests. The agitation will begin in Udaipur on August 22, followed by district-level activities across all districts of the state. The state-wide procession will be held in Agartala on August 30, where Congress leaders, workers, and supporters from across Tripura will take part. The movement will culminate in Kailashahar on September 6. The Congress chief also reiterated Rahul Gandhi's allegation that since 2014, the Narendra Modi-led BJP government has been 'misusing administrative machinery, money, and muscle power to capture state elections.' He claimed that the ruling party has now turned the Election Commission into a 'puppet and branch organisation' to manipulate votes. Saha further warned that no genuine voter in Tripura should be wrongfully identified as a foreign national during the electoral process. UNI BB ARN
