Talking to media, IPFT President NC Debbarma said that IPFT has started preparations for the ADC election already, and there is no lack in this preparation.

The IPFT chief however mentioned, what will be the strategy between BJP and IPFT it is not yet decided, subjected to be outcome of mutual understanding followed by meetings.

It is also notable that earlier IPFT leaders told that if BJP will not listen to them then they will contest solo in ADC election which will held on April next year.

They also alleged that BJP leaders did not give proper attention and for this they contested solo in all elections. But today, IPFT president NC Debbarma said that the matter is still not finalized.

Ut may be mentioned here that the IPFT is the junior partner of Tripura state government along with BJP. In last assembly election both the party made a alliance but after the Assembly election, BJP did not give much room to IPFT. And that’s why they contested independently in all the elections after assembly election.

In the sixty member Tripura assembly, IPFT has eight MLAs and BJP has 36 MLAs.
