Tripura : 154 CPIM workers join BJP after the CPIM announces alliance with Congress

154 CPIM workers join BJP after the CPIM announces alliance with Congress

154 CPIM workers in Bishalgarh joined the BJP.  It is notable that in the 2018 state assembly elections, the Bishalgarh seat was won by CPIM’s Bhanulal Saha. In a joining ceremony held at booth number 16/41 in Bishalgarh, 154 CPIM members from 40 families were welcomed by local BJP leaders.

While the Congress and CPIM workers are in a state of confusion over the alliance.

BJP won the state in 2018, the Communists and the Congress were rivals in Tripura and were the main political parties, and both parties had ruled the state earlier.

However, CPIM was in power for 25 years in Tripura, from 1993 to 2018, before losing to BJP
