The Hindu
‘Something is going on between the TMC and the BJP because all the Enforcement Directorate cases have been closed (against TMC leaders), said State's AICC in-charge Ajoy Kumar
The Trinamool Congress is "playing a game" to support the BJP in Tripura but will not be able to hamper the Congress-Left alliance's chances in the Assembly polls, the State's AICC in-charge Ajoy Kumar said on Sunday.
A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at the Left-Congress alliance, Mr. Kumar asserted that the tie-up was on a strong footing in the State as there was "political commonness" between the Congress and the CPI(M) in Tripura.

"You see the crowds (for Left-Congress alliance), see on the ground. The leaders may have small issues but the cadre people are all together. I have been travelling all over Tripura, it is quite heartening to see that," he told PTI in a telephonic interview from Agartala.
Asked about the Tipra Motha party gaining ground in the tribal belt and if that will affect the Left-Congress, Mr. Kumar pointed to the head of CPI(M) in Tripura, Jitendra Chowdhury, being a tribal leader.
"He (Chaudhary) is actually a leader who speaks their (tribals') language. He is the son of the soil. So I think the tribals are also understanding that Jitendra Chowdhury represents the actual tribal aspirations," Mr. Kumar asserted.
