“We will not field any candidate in those seats where Congress may face defeat but chances of CPI-M winning those are high. So the dialogue on seat sharing with opposition CPI-M is still underway,” he said adding that he is hopeful that the people of Tripura will support this alliance.
He said that Congress and CPI-M have come together to contest the assembly elections in Tripura jointly to defeat the BJP and to “free the people of the state from the misrule of the saffron party”.
