Kamalpur, Feb 12: Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram today criticized the Left Front government for ‘failure' to improve the standard of life of the people in the Tripura despite funds from the Centre.
“We have dispatched adequate funds to the state. The Left Front government has completed four consecutive terms, but failed to improve the standard of life in the state,” Chidamabaram told an election rally here.
Tripura, he said, was one of the poorest states in the country where 67% of the people lived below the poverty line.
He promised that the Congress manifesto would be implemented in total and the unemployment problem addressed if the opposition party was voted to power.
