Lashing out the Biplab Deb-led BJP government in Tripura, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPI (M) alleged that cases of COVID-19 increased in the state and virus spread uncontrollably solely due to the governmentโ€™s negligence.

Tripura CPI (M) secretary Gautam Das said, โ€œEarlier when people from outside the state entered Tripura the government decided to conduct COVID-19 on only one person test among five.โ€

โ€œThey did it according to their plan and only one person was tested in every five people. Now the number of corona positive cases has alarmingly increased in the state,โ€ Das said.

โ€œAt that time CPI (M) repeatedly urged the government to test everyone who came from outside. But the government ignored our pleas,โ€ he added.

โ€œThe government is now going to conduct a house-to-house survey, which they could have done earlier as well,โ€ Das further said.
