Tripura CM slams left front for using Janajati community for vote bank politics
Agartala (Tripura) [India], July 15 (ANI): Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said on Monday that the development of the country is not possible without developing the Janajati community. In view of this, he wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to address some of the problems faced by the Bru people in the state. The Chief Minister made these remarks while addressing the District Level Mega Campaign on Dharti Aaba Jan Bhagidari Abhiyan at Gobinda Community Hall, Jirania Sub-Division. He criticised the previous left-front-led government of the state for using the Janajati community as a vote bank. 'They (CPM led govt) used the Janajati community for vote bank politics. Now, the BJP government always thinks about the people and the development of the Janajati community by making them self-reliant. The way PM Modi connects with people through Mann Ki Baat, I doubt if any leader in the world connects like that. We are public representatives, but we must not forget who we are here for; we must work for the people,' CM Saha said. He highlighted the efforts of the BJP government since 2018 to improve their condition. Highlighting the importance of helping the backwards classes, the Tripura CM noted that several community members have also held high offices, including President Murmu. 'If we can't develop the backwards class people, then the development of the country is not possible. PM Modi has been working for the Janajati people since 2014. Our President of India also belongs to the Janajati community, and one Janajati--who belongs to our royal family--is the Governor of Telangana. All such things have been possible because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,' he said. 'What PM Modi says, he does. We really feel proud to have such a Prime Minister. He has been working to make the country stronger and to ensure a safe future for the next generation,' Manik Saha added. CM Saha further said that in Tripura, the present state government is providing various beneficiary schemes to the people, ranging from drinking water, hostels for Janajati students, tribal multipurpose marketing centres, and giving land pattas. Under the Dharti Aaba Jan Bhagidari, 779 Gram Panchayats and Village Councils will benefit, with 20 departments involved in the initiative, the CM emphasised. During the event, Social Welfare and Social Education Minister Tinku Roy, Tribal Welfare Minister Bikas Debbarma, social worker Bipin Debbarma, West District Magistrate Dr Vishal Kumar, Dr K Sashikumar (Secretary, Tribal Welfare), West District ki SP Kiran Kumar, and others were present.

Following this, officials from the Education Department, including the Block Resource Coordinator, were sent to the school for an inquiry. It was found that she was intoxicated and misbehaving with both the laborers working on school repairs and the staff,' N.S. Barkade, assistant commissioner, Tribal Welfare Department, told TOI. 'Similar incidents have occurred in the past as well, but at the time, she apologized and the matter was set aside.

The suspension, enacted under the Madhya Pradesh Civil Services Conduct Rules, 1965, and Classification, Control, and Appeal Rules, 1966, cites dereliction of duty and misconduct.

Kawche is responsible for teaching nearly 150 students from classes one to five. Repeated warnings, staff say, had failed to deter her behavior, which they claim has negatively impacted students.
