Pradesh Congress President Ashish Kumar Saha on Monday accused the BJP government of displaying a “one-party mindset” during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Tripura.

Saha said it was “very unfortunate” that the Prime Minister inaugurated the Mata Tripureshwari Temple development project under the Prasad scheme without inviting members of the Opposition.

“The Prime Minister is the leader of the entire country, not of one party. Inviting Opposition leaders to official programmes has been a long-standing democratic practice. But this government has broken that tradition,” Saha said.

He alleged that the ruling BJP has gone so far as to portray Mata Tripureshwari as belonging only to their party. “They have even used the Goddess politically. This is highly condemnable,” he remarked.

The Congress chief further urged civil society to raise its voice against what he termed as the “undemocratic attitude” of the present government.
