The BJP has slammed the Trinamool Congress (TMC) over repeated visits by the party’s national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee to Tripura. 

The BJP in Tripura said that frequent visits by Abhishek Banerjee to Tripura shows that TMC is ‘desperate’. 

The Tripura BJP said that the TMC is ‘desperate’ to project itself as a national party. 

The Tripura BJP further claimed that the supporters who attended the TMC’s rally in Agartala on Sunday were mostly brought from West Bengal. 

“The TMC is trying to enter into the politics of the states like Tripura and Goa. But, the people of these states are matured enough to see through their game plan,” Tripura BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar said.
