Talking to reporters after his appointment as new Tripura CPI(M) secretary Chowdhury alleged that the law and order has collapsed after the BJP-IPFT government came to power in the state and his principal task would be to restore democracy in the state and organise a strong democratic movement.

He said the Trinamool Congress has "no base" in Tripura and they have come to the state to "fish in troubled waters".
