AGARTALA, Jan 23 (TIWN): CPI-M has selected MP Jharna Das Baidya as party's new MLA candidate with old face for Badharghat constituency, the constituency of BJP MLA Dilip Sarkar.

CPI-M has conducted a massive rally for Baidya's campaigning at Badharghat.

Jharna Das Baidya is already an elected MP, representing Tripura at the Parliament. But at Dilip Sarkar's constituency, Jharna Das Baidya's chances are very low, the primary survey says.

Recently, BJP had complained to Election Commission regarding Jharna  Das Baidya for her 'hate-speech' against the opposition BJP. She also gave life threats to BJP activists openly in a rally.

Tripura MP Jharna Das Baidya at korbook had delivered a vulgar speech but till day she didn’t make any apology even though the party secretary Bijan Dhar accepted the guilt. The BJP also demanded CM's statement, but CM Manik Sarkar remained  silent in this matter. 

The MP said, “After 2018’s February month’s election we will take full revenge against all people who opposed us. BJP’s Biplab Deb will run to his wife at Delhi but where will you go ? Before the cabinet meeting we will take all measures of revenge”.

The BJP had gheraoed at least 50 police stations of the state with around 50,000 BJP protesters' supports in this regard.

BJP raised demand to Dy Election Election commissioner Sudip Jain that MP Jharna Das Baidya can not be kept here during poll season as she openly gave life threatening to the opposition activists saying 'CPI-M will take measures of each and everything from the BJP after CPI-M comes in power'. However, now it's to be seen what action the Election Commission takes against the MP.
