CPI(M) Seeks Anti-BJP Alliance in Tripura Civic Polls

The CPI(M) has appealed for an anti-BJP alliance in the upcoming Tripura civic polls to prevent a split in opposition votes. This call comes after seat-sharing negotiations between the CPI(M) and Congress, both INDIA bloc partners, failed. The CPI(M) has nominated 263 candidates, while Congress has fielded candidates in 221 wards, potentially dividing the anti-BJP vote.
