However, the CPI(M) did not name the parties that will be associated with its move.
The "joint initiative" of the CPI(M) to bring all secular and democratic forces ahead of the Assembly elections in Tripura to defeat the BJP has reached its final stage, the Left party's state secretary Jitendra Choudhury claimed on Tuesday. However, Mr Choudhury did not name the parties that will be associated with the CPI(M)'s move.
"Details of the joint initiative will be made known very shortly. It is aimed at defeating the BJP in the Assembly elections due in February," he told PTI.
But, the senior leader said, the initiative should not be considered as political adjustment or alignment.
"For the CPI(M), win or defeat in elections doesn't matter much. We are working hard to restore democracy in the state where democratic values have been throttled in the past 58 months of BJP rule," Mr Choudhury said.
