He claimed that since coming to power, the BJP has consistently disregarded the Constitution and democratic principles. Chaudhury, also a CPIM MLA and Leader of the Opposition in Tripura, stated that despite winning 80% of the votes in previous elections, the BJP is now apprehensive about their diminishing support base. He criticized the ruling party for turning the Lok Sabha elections into a “farce,” indicating their vulnerability and declining influence.
