Tripura Assembly polls | Only double-engine BJP Govt can protect Tripura from 'triple trouble' of Congress, CPI(M) and Tipra Motha: Amit Shah

The Hindu  

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on February 12 said Tripura is faced with the “triple trouble” of the Congress, the CPI and the Tipra Motha in the ensuing Assembly elections. Mr. Shah also said that the Left, which betrayed tribals for long in Tripura, is now projecting a tribal leader as the chief ministerial face to “dupe” people. “If you want to be rescued from this ‘triple trouble’, vote for the double-engine BJP Government,” Mr. Shah said in a rally in Chandipur in Unakoti district. Jitendra Choudhury is among the top CPI leaders from the tribal community, and is being seen as a leading contender for the chief ministerial post in case the Left-Congress alliance comes to power in Tripura.
