The electoral battle has the ruling BJP locked in battle with the Trinamool Congress which is foraying into the Northeast and elsewhere to establish itself as a national party, and with the CPI(M) which the saffron party had dethroned from power in this State some years ago
Amid accusations of political violence, civic polls to Tripura’s 14 municipalities began on November 25.
