GUWAHATI: Replicating its 2016 Assam type, the BJP on Thursday moved forward with its solution to win the coming election in Tripura via aligning with indigenous other people. Late on Thursday evening, the saffron celebration struck a poll alliance with the dominant faction of the tribal-run Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT).
In Assam, the BJP had focussed at the preservation of the identity of indigenous Assamese other people and had aligned with two primary regional organizations - Asom Gana Parishad and Bodo People's Front. This alliance paid dividend for the saffron celebration that managed to wrest Assam from Congress, which was in power for 15 consecutive years.
"The alliance has been finalized and will declare it after the seat-sharing meeting in Guwahati," BJP general secretary and celebration in-charge of Tripura Sunil Deodhar told TOI. NC Debbarma stated, "We will be making the announcement jointly once the discussion is over."
Besides the NC Debbarma faction of IPFT, all other tribal parties of Tripura - the Tipraha faction of IPFT, the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Twipra and the National Council of Tripura - are set to join the BJP-led North East Democratic Alliance.
The BJP has focussed at the preservation of cultural and linguistic identity of tribals but has not conceded the demand for political decision.
