Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb Wednesday came down heavily on the Congress, dubbing it as a party of "traitors" whose leaders come to the state only to "eat the fruits of success".
Deb also alleged that there existed an "unholy nexus" between the Congress and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) at the Centre, due to which the Left Front government managed to be in power for 25 years in Tripura.
Addressing a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers meeting at Pratapgarh here, Deb said, "They (Congress) are traitors. Nobody from the party earlier came to Tripura-- Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi or Manmohan Singh."
