Northeast Desk, 24th April: The high-energy campaign for the Tripura East Lok Sabha constituency concluded on Wednesday, with nine candidates, including BJP’s Kriti Devi Debbarman and CPI(M)’s Rajendra Reang, competing in the upcoming elections on April 26.
Both the BJP-Tipra Motha-IPFT combine and the CPI(M)-led INDIA bloc left no stone unturned in their campaign efforts, organizing election rallies, roadshows, and door-to-door canvassing.
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha spearheaded the BJP-led alliance’s campaign in the Tripura East Lok Sabha constituency. Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury and former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar actively campaigned for the INDIA bloc candidate.
