AGARTALA, Aug 11 (TIWN): With the increasing tensions among IPFT and BJP regarding MP-election / Lok Sabha Election’s seat sharing issue, BJP sources are spreading a news that IPFT is ready to give up both seats for the BJP as ultimate aim of BJP-IPFT was to free the state from corruption and communist rule.
It has been said that Assam BJP Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and IPFT Tripura Minister NC Debbarma held a meeting and the problems are almost ended.
On August 10, Assam Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma while replying media queries on that issue said, "We will manage and I think resolution will come out".
Sarma also said that he talks to the IPFT leaders regularly from his state and he doesn't feel there can be any issue like that.
Noteworthy, IPFT has demanded one MP seat for IPFT among two seats of Tripura, but BJP has not shown much interest as without IPFT also BJP will hold the power. On the other side, IPFT is confident on tribal vote banks claiming without IPFT, BJP will not be voted to power.
IPFT-Tipraha (Divided IPFT) leader Budhu Debbarma said recently, IPFT led by NC Debbarma (which is in power) will surely align with BJP as NC Debbarma's aim is to get hefty of cashes in Election season.
