Sources in the Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee said, preparations are at war footing to give a rousing reception to the newcomers.
“They are not new to the Congress family. Our workers know them. Their return will bring a lot of our old party colleagues back. The February 12 rally would be the first wake-up call to this government that came to power in support of Congress vote bank and now depriving those who really toiled for them round the clock”, said a source in the Congress party.
Soon after the joining of Barman and Saha was made public, celebrations broke out in front of Congress Bhavan with the bursting of crackers and sweet exchange that symbolizes Congress’s revival in the state.
