Tripura Congress leader Sudip Roy Barman on Wednesday sought CPI (M)’s support to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls to two parliamentary constituencies in the northeastern state. In the assembly elections earlier this year, the CPI (M)-led Left Front had entered into an electoral alliance with its once arch-rival Congress to defeat the BJP-IPFT combine. The northeastern state has two parliamentary constituencies – West Tripura and East Tripura, a reserved seat for ST, and the BJP won both seats in the 2019 elections.
