" For the last few weeks we are witnessing personal attacks and accusations not in the traditional media but mostly on the social media, where we are not attacking political leaders politically but we are attacking them based on their personal lives. Today there are much important issues in front of us such as unemployment, education, health, economy. forest bill, Citizenship Amendment Bill. But we are focused o personal lives of others and through social media rumors are which culture we see in West Bengal, "said Pradyot Kishore Debbarma.
Debbarma also met the Chief Minister and BJP state President, Biplab Kumar Deb on the issue of personal attacks on him and his family and requested the Chief Minister to look into the matter as many of such rumors are being allegedly spread by BJP social media activists.
" I met the Chief Minister along with the letter of my mother, Bibhu Kumari Devi where she has written to the Chief Minister not to bring personal issues in political fight. The problem is that people do not know facts and they don't do their homework, when my father Maharaja Kirit Bikram Debbarma has donated land to Swasti Committee for Vallabhbhai Patel Hospital in Kanchanpur post merger than the govt. of Tripura has exempted 26,500 units of electricity per annum for Ujjayanta Palace. For our other properties in he state we pay our electricity bills. I have also asked him to pull up the people in his party for stopping such activities immediately. The Chief Minister has assured me that he will look into this seriously".

You are not replying on one hand and on the other plant fake stories of such kinds during the time of elections to divert people and the same tactics are being used at the national level as well. Many people from outside control the media in the state and has eve said that my sister, Pragya Devi is an Italian citizen. I would also like to ask them to do their homework first".
