This statement from the Tripura chief minister came just a day after six opposition parties, including the CPI-M and the Congress, issued a joint statement asking the “peace -loving” people of Tripura to vote out the “antidemocratic” BJP out of power in the state.
He said that the ‘unity’ of the CPI-M and the Congress will give the BJP an edge in the upcoming Tripura assembly elections.
