Tripura: Secular forces unite to oust BJP in 2023 Assembly election

Agartala: A day after the assembly elections were declared, all secular democratic parties of the state formed a single platform and urged voters to show unity at the grassroots level to dislodge the BJP from power.

The ruling party of TTAADC, TIPRA, did not send representatives to the joint press conference, but leaders of the Left parties and CPI(M) stated that the TIPRA leader would soon communicate his views to the state’s people through his social media handle.

Speaking at the Press Conference, Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman, said, “Opposition parties have united to resist fascist attacks on democratic institutions. There is fear among voters about their ability to exercise their franchise due to past experiences of false voting, booth jamming, and intimidation. Even the Chief Minister has won by-elections through unfair means.”
