NDA government failed to provide jobs: Tripura CM
Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar on Saturday said that the BJP-led NDA government has utterly failed to provide jobs to youth and protect the farmers’ interest and instead, serving the millionaires.
“After coming to power 15 months ago, the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party)-led NDA (National Democratic Alliance) government had promised to provide jobs to one crore youth but it has completely failed,” Sarkar said after unfurling the tricolour at the Assam Rifles ground here.
The 69th Independence Day was observed across the state, with a variety of colourful functions and programmes, including sports and cultural events.
“As the central government failed to take care of the farmers and their interest, the suicide of peasants continued with greater dimension,” Sarkar said.
“Forgetting its pre-poll assurances to the people, the government is busy in serving the millionaires… taking steps one after another to open a flood gate for foreign investment,” he added.
Sarkar, a Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) politburo member, in his 40-minute speech, said that the central government is also privatising the profit making public sector undertakings.
“After assuming office, Prime Minister Narandra Modi had said that his government would curb corruption and good days are ahead but the experience of people is acutely opposite,” he remarked.
“Tripura is now a leading state in the country in literacy, health, governance, providing services to poor and implementing various central schemes,” the chief minister said, adding that the state government had to struggled a lot to get its due share from the central government.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
