 to go for alliance with forces against ‘politics of terror’ in Tripura; hints on coalition with Congress, Motha){kind=link}
Terming the ensuing assembly election as very crucial, the CPI(M) National General Secretary Sitaram Yechury on Wednesday hinted on forming alliance with the Congress and TIPRA Motha party and said, “To defeat the BJP, we said we will adopt suitable electoral tactics to maximize the pulling of non-BJP votes.”
Addressing a press conference here at the party headquarter on Wednesday morning Yechury said, “We are ready to go for an electoral alliance with the forces which are against the politics of terror existing in the state of Tripura.”
“The party’s 23rd Party Congress, held in Kerala in April last year, had resolved that the party’s principal task should be to isolate and defeat the BJP,” he said, adding that the CPI(M)’s primary focus will be to seek cooperation and unity of all secular forces to ensure the defeat of the BJP.
He said, “We consider the coming elections very crucial, not only for Tripura but for the sake of democracy and the rule of law and the Constitution. They are important in the context of the Northeast, India, development and for national politics.”
“If you want to restore the rule of law and the rule of constitution of India and democracy in Tripura, it is absolutely essential that the BJP must be defeated and must not be permitted by people’s mandate to form the forthcoming government,” he told reporters.
“Going by the experience of the last five years in Tripura, all the promises made in the last 2018 election, actually not fulfilled,” he said adding that as far as the tribals are concerned, how the BJP betrayed them completely, the tribals have understood it well. “Despite forming an alliance with the tribal group, the tribals were deprived at large during the last five years,” he said.
He said, “Our concern is completely with the promotion and protection of the tribal communities in Tripura.”
