He further said that Congress is fully prepared and preparation is going on in full swing.

Congress which was known as the principal opposition political party prior to 2018, had no MLAs after BJP came into the state as the majority of MLAs of Congress joined BJP.
The vote share for the party however significantly increased in the year 2019 Lok Sabha poll when TIPRA Motha chairman Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma was the chief of the party. But later the party failed to make an impact in any other polls even in the Agartala Municipal Corporation elections. But after the former minister, Sudip Roy Barman quit BJP had become the lone Congress MLA in the state.
