Lenin Statue Torn Down in Tripura: BJP Workers Blamed by Left

By NDP newsroom

A statue of communist leader Vladimir Lenin was torn down in Belonia town, Tripura, on Monday by suspected Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers. Using a bulldozer, they knocked down the statue while reportedly shouting "Bharat Mata ki jai." The act followed BJP's victory in the state assembly elections.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)), which had ruled Tripura for 25 years, condemned the incident as a sign of “communism phobia.” Eyewitnesses claimed that after the statue fell, its head was severed, and BJP workers kicked it around like a football. CPI(M) official Tapas Datta expressed outrage, calling the act an insult to the party's history.

In contrast, BJP leaders downplayed the incident, with South District Secretary Raju Nath arguing that the statue had long been a source of resentment. He questioned why taxpayers should fund a statue of a foreign communist figure. Nath remarked that a statue of local leaders, such as former CPI(M) Chief Minister Nripen Chakraborty, would not have faced such treatment.

BJP spokesperson Mrinal Kanti Deb stated he was unaware of the incident, and if it occurred, the BJP did not condone it. The driver of the bulldozer was arrested and later released on bail. The statue has been left at its location and will be stored by the municipality.

In response, CPI(M) staged protests in Kolkata, while Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh directed Tripura authorities to maintain law and order. Central security forces have been deployed to ensure peace in the state.

Modi’s BJP Triumphs in Delhi After 27 Years, AAP Faces Crushing Defeat

By NDP newsroom
New Delhi – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured a historic victory in Delhi, ending a 27-year-long wait to reclaim the state and delivering a resounding defeat to Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The BJP’s landslide win signals a clear rejection of AAP’s governance and a strong endorsement of Modi’s leadership and development agenda. In the 70-seat Delhi Assembly, BJP secured 48 seats, while AAP’s tally collapsed from 63 in 2020 to just 22. The Congress party, once a dominant force in Delhi politics, failed to win a single seat for the third consecutive election. The results reflect growing voter discontent with AAP’s governance, corruption allegations, and political confrontations with the central government. As celebrations erupted at BJP offices, Modi took to X to declare, “Development wins, good governance triumphs.” Kejriwal, once seen as a formidable challenger to mainstream parties, suffered a personal and political blow by losing his ...
