Addressing a gathering in remote Korbok of South Tripura, Mr Nath said Mr Sarkar had alleged that both the former Chief Ministers had never visited interior parts of the state and run the administration sitting in the capital, which he termed ''false and distortion of history''.
''They are the main architects of transformation of Tripura and all the development activities, including expansion of technical education, rubber cultivation, setting up ONGC and inception of public transport system, were started in their regime and Manik Sarkar is now enjoying the results,'' Mr Nath claimed.
He alleged that soon after attainment of statehood, the CPI(M) involved itself in criminal activities and instigated communal riots and these all had been well-recorded in history.
''Ahead of the ADC elections Mr Sarkar is trying to mislead the masses. He travels to remote villages only once a year by helicopter, but Sukhomoy Sengupta and Sachindra Lal Singha travelled frequently on foot and stayed with the tribal people and built the foundation of new Tripura,'' he stated.
He also alleged that Mr Sarkar was managing the state with central resources and in most of the cases his government failed to spend the allocated fund for development work.
