CPI(M) Pursues Anti-BJP Alliance Ahead of Tripura Civic Elections
Ahead of Tripura's November 27 civic polls, CPI(M) seeks an alliance with democratic and secular parties to prevent splitting the anti-BJP vote. The party has fielded 263 candidates, while Congress has nominated 221 after failed seat-sharing talks. CPI(M) leaders allege obstruction by BJP supporters in filing nominations and claim inadequate security despite court orders. They emphasize defeating BJP, accusing it of weakening democratic values over nine years, with a decision on seat adjustments expected before the November 10 withdrawal deadline.
