The Tripura government on Saturday landed in a controversy after it allegedly used the image of a flyover in Kolkata in a Twitter poster for a slogan-writing competition, with the Opposition accusing the BJP-led administration of “renting” the development works of West Bengal.
Tripura government officials, however, justified the move and said the image was used for a pan-India competition that wasn’t limited to the state.
The poster — shared from the Twitter handle My Gov Tripura – called for entries to participate in the “Motor Vehicle Driving regulations Slogan Writing Competition”. The Twitter post also included a photograph of a flyover, which is purportedly located in Kolkata, as pointed out by users on the social media website.
