Shah attacks Left parties, Cong for 'ignoring' Tripura's problems

AGARTALA:

Shah said the central government, in association with the Tripura government, has been doing its best to rehabilitate the displaced Bru (Reang) families so that they can live with dignity in their homes. He said he would go back with immense happiness that Prime Minister Narendra Modi government has been able to successfully rehabilitate all the displaced Bru people in Tripura.

"I am happier than you. Prime Minister Modi ji is also very happy that we could rehabilitate you after 40 years," Shah said after virtually inaugurating and laying of foundation stone for 13 development projects worth Rs 668.39 crores at Kulai RF Village in Dhalai district of the state.

"We have made available 25 types of livelihood opportunities for you. These include animal husbandry, dairy, honeybee keeping and millet farming," he told the settlers.

Besides interacting with the villagers, the home minister visited several homes and enquired about people's problems and the government benefits they were getting.
