Agartala, Jan 13: Finally, the Congress and CPM finalized a poll alliance to defeat BJP in the ensuing assembly polls.
All India Congress Committee (AICC) Tripura in-charge Dr. Ajoy Kumar after meeting with CPM state secretary Jitendra Choudhury on Friday evening admitted that the Congress and CPM had decided to forge poll alliance in Tripura.
Speaking to the media Dr. Kumar said the joint delegations of Congress and CPM would now sit together to finalize the seat and strategy. The meeting will be held soon.
Chaudhury said, the people of Tripura want to get rid of misrule of BJP. It is not only the Left Front or opposition who wants to oust BJP from power; it is the sentiment of the people.
“As a mark of respect to the people’s sentiment, we are holding talks to give the plan of defeating BJP a real shape. We shall soon take an effective step,” Chaudhury told reporters.
‘BJP is the camp of all the political criminals; they are looting and destroying the constitutional rights”.
Replying to a query, he said, Pradyot Kishore Debbarma-led Tipra Motha has also been invited to hold talks. “Till date, he (Pradyot Kishore) said that he is also in the fray to defeat BJP,” Chaudhury added.
He said, the main goal is to defeat BJP and other parties would also be invited in the talks for defeating BJP.
It may be mentioned here that speculations were rife on the possible poll alliance between Congress and CPM over the last few months. While the CPM and Congress are expecting to defeat BJP, some people are visibly not agreeing with the decision. For many people, if the alliance is formed, the Congress and CPM would face the worst results like West Bengal.
