BJP town general secretary Muthukumaran and another person identified as Francis, who is believed to be a CPI worker, were arrested for allegedly vandalising in an inebriated state. Two days back, less than 48 hours after the BJP came to power in Tripura, a statue of Russian communist leader Lenin was razed down amid chants of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’.
