The Congress-CPIM alliance in the upcoming Tripura polls is a major development in the political landscape of the state. The CPIM, who has been ruling in Tripura since 1993, has extended its support to the newly formed tribal political outfit Tipra Motha in order to prevent the BJP from gaining a foothold in the state.
The Congress-CPIM alliance is seen as a challenge to the BJP, who are aiming to form a government in the state. The CPIM is focussing on the tribal dominated seats in order to maximize their chances of victory and keep the BJP out. The CPIM is also hoping that the support of Tipra Motha will help them in gaining support from the tribal areas, where the BJP is trying to make inroads.
The Congress-CPIM alliance has made it clear that they are against the BJP's ideologies and policies and will fight to keep them out of the state. While the Congress-CPIM alliance may have the edge in the Tripura polls, the BJP is likely to put up a strong fight and the outcome of the election could be decided by a few crucial seats. The electoral battle in Tripura is sure to be a hard fought one, and only time will tell who will ultimately prevail.
