“During the two-day visit to the state, they will meet with the top leadership at the district and mandal levels, along with the Pradesh leadership. Tripura has two seats in the Lok Sabha, and the BJP won both seats in the last Lok Sabha elections. This time, the possibility of opposition parties coming together and fielding a joint candidate is high. Naturally, the BJP has to prepare for a stronger fight,” said the source.

He further mentioned that after arriving in the state today, the senior BJP leaders held a meeting with Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha, former Deputy Chief Minister Jishnu Dev Varma, BJP state president Rajib Bhattacharya, General Secretary Amit Rakshit, and others.

“They have had a series of discussions on the organizational matters in the state as the Lok Sabha elections are approaching. In the meeting, a preliminary decision has been taken that the Presidents of all the frontal wings will be changed, and final lists of names have already been selected. However, these lists will be rechecked before release,” added the BJP source.
