Left-Congress Combine Resolves Seat-Sharing Issue But Chemistry Remains A Challenge

ABP News  

The CPI-led Left Front and the Congress were finally able to resolve their seat-sharing issue in Tripura this week. In the Chandipur seat, the party’s state committee member and old BJP leader from the area Ranjan Sinha quit the party in anger after being denied a ticket and joined TIPRA Motha. Aware of this, central BJP leader Phanindranath Sarma along with state minister Ramprasad Paul and state party vice-president Ashok Sinha visited Sinha’s house to convince him to withdraw his nomination. In the Ramchandraghat seat of Khowai district, BJP mandal president Sanjit Debbarma has joined the fray as an independent candidate against IPFT’s Prasanta Debbarma, the sitting MLA. He recalled how the TMC didn’t support tribal candidate Droupadi Murmu during the Presidential polls held last year and how party leader Kirti Azad mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi wearing Khasi attire.
