Summary:
AGARTALA: Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Wednesday called the Congress a 'gang of corrupt and dishonest people', at a gathering of BJP workers at Pratapgarh. Deb also held a separate meeting with 'pristha pramukhs' (page observers) and other local leaders from four local committees or 'mandals'. "The meeting was significant, we reviewed our campaign and finalised strategies for the local level," said BJP state secretary Rajib Bhattacharjee. In previous assembly elections, local Congress leaders and workers could have ensured the defeat of the Left Front government here. It will be the first public meeting by the party in the state after the announcement of Lok Sabha election dates..
