Tripura Congress alleges Pradyot Debbarma misled voters ahead of Village Committee polls

Tripura's main opposition party, the Congress, has formally accused tribal leader Pradyot Debbarma of providing false information to voters as the Village Committee polls approach. The allegation was lodged in a statement released by the state Congress office, which claims that Debbarma's recent public remarks were designed to mislead the electorate about the polling process.
The party says Debbarma's statements created confusion regarding candidate eligibility and the timing of the elections, potentially influencing voter decisions. Congress officials argue that such misinformation undermines the fairness of the Village Committee elections, which are scheduled to be held later this month.
Pradyot Debbarma, a prominent figure in Tripura's tribal politics, has not yet responded to the accusations. The Congress has urged the Election Commission to investigate the matter and ensure that the polls proceed without undue influence. The Village Committee elections are expected to be a key indicator of political sentiment in the state's rural and tribal areas.
