The state’s power minister warned that the Communist Party of India (Marxist) is finding it hard to mount a full-fledged contest in the forthcoming Tripura Vidhan Sabha polls.
Tripura's power minister told media that the Communist Party of India (Marxist) is struggling to organise a robust campaign ahead of the state's Vidhan Sabha elections. He said the party is facing internal coordination issues and a shortage of willing candidates in several constituencies. The minister added that these challenges could affect the CPI(M)'s traditional vote base in the northeastern state.
The statement comes as political parties gear up for the assembly polls scheduled later this year, a contest that will determine control of the state government. While the CPI(M) has historically enjoyed strong support in Tripura, the minister suggested that recent organisational setbacks may hamper its performance.
No official response from the CPI(M) has been recorded yet, and election officials have not commented on the minister's remarks. The upcoming election remains a focal point for both state and national observers.
The power minister emphasized that the government will continue its development programmes irrespective of the electoral outcome, urging all parties to focus on the welfare of Tripura's citizens.
