Q. Why media portray Tripura as last bastion of CPM? Don't you think CPM is very strong in West Bengal and Kerela? Asked by: birendra Mishra
A. I can not say much about Kerala or West Bengal. But in Tripura they are very very strong. They could make their base strong due to implementation of the flagship programmes of the central government in the state.
Q. Do you think the royal scion stands any chance in the elections? Asked by: Karthik
A. Are you talking about Pradyot K Manikya Bahadur? He is the royal scion, but did not contest the elections.
Q. What are the strengths of left front in Tripura apart from organisational base & Manik Sarkar? Asked by: indranath daw
A. What can be the strength for a political party apart from it's organisational base? The Left Front did well in implementation of the central govt. sponsored projects and corruption is minimum. bureaucracy is clean and same are the ministers.
