Alleging that the Left Front government had failed to deliver good governance in Tripura in the past 25 years, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Smriti Irani on Sunday urged the people of the State to root it out in the Assembly elections.
The CPI(M)-led government had failed to lift the standard of living of the people in the northeastern State and the poor only got poorer, the Minister said at a meeting at Chandipur in Unakoti district.
Ms. Irani, who arrived at the district headquarters, Kalishahar, in an helicopter around 10.50 a.m., said the women of the State felt unsafe under Left rule. “What concerns me the most is that the rate of crime against women is very high in the State. My sisters and mothers are not getting justice here because law and order has collapsed. The government does not have the moral right to remain in power even for a minute,” she said.

Alleging that the government could not do anything for the welfare of the State, she said it was time the people voted for a change.
“The wages of labourers are very low here. It only proves that the government here has no love for the working class,” she said.
