Agartala, April 06, 2019:: In a significant move, Congress-INPT managed to inflict erosion in Opposition camps and gain supports of 720 voters of 250 families in Kanchanpur area under North Tripura district today.
State Congress chief Pradyot Kishor Debbarma and INPT supremo Bijoy Kumar Hrangkhawl welcomed the new entrants today during a poll rally at Dasda under Kanchanpur today. Party sources claimed, most of the new entrants were from IPFT while rests were from CPM.
Congress and its ally INPT held an election rally at Dasda under Kanchanpur in support of Congress nominee Pragya Deb Burma today. In a well attended meeting, Pradyot Kishore Debbarma urged people to ensure victory for Congress candidates in ensuing Lok Sabha Polls for the sake of interests of indigenous people of the State.
He said, if Congress is voted to power, Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) will be permanently scrapped. He also assured that more power would be transferred to ADC, if Congress emerges winner.
“Large number of people attended today’s meeting. During last Assembly polls, Congress received lukewarm responses from people – however, after Pradyot Kishore took charge of Tripura Congress, situation has changed drastically in favour of Congress. Moreover, during last one year, discontent with BJP-IPFT government among the people is growing and people are inclining towards Congress”, local sources claimed.
