Tripura Lok Sabha Elections 2024
Tripura is set for a heated poll battle between the ruling BJP-led NDA against the opposition INDIA bloc’s CPI-M and Congress. The state’s main regional party TIPRA Motha is aligned with the BJP.
Notably, both Lok Sabha seats in Tripura are currently held by the BJP who sweeped the 2019 general elections with a thumping majority.
However, the ruling alliance has decided to replace both sitting MPs with new nominees in this year’s polls, fielding former chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb from Tripura West and TIPRA Motha’s Maharani Kriti Singh Debbarma from Tripura East.
State Congress chief Asish Kumar Saha will go up against Deb in Tripura West.
