Tripura: Yechury express confidence of winning 2023 poll


The CPI(M) secretary Sitaram Yechury on Friday expressed his confidence of winning the Tripura assembly election with the people’s decisive mandate in favour of the Left-Congress democratic-secular force.

Worried and frustrated by the ‘attack on democracy’, ‘reign of terror’, ‘misrule’ and ‘corruption’, the people of Tripura want a change of government, he said, adding that the ruling dispensation will desperately try to use money and muscle power in the ensuing poll.

He alleged, “In the past five years, the northeastern state has not only witnessed misrule but also a drastic fall in livelihood.” Yechury, however, exuded confidence that the Left-Congress alliance would win the February 16 elections on its own.

Meanwhile, he said that though there is no pre-poll adjustment with the TIPRA Motha, there can be local-level understanding with the tribal party, which has emerged as the third pole.
