Expressing solidarity, Roy Barman stressed the need for unity among all parties, including regional ones, to counter what he described as “fascist forces.” He urged Pradyot and his party to make appropriate decisions for the betterment of Tripura.
Animesh Debbarma, Leader of the Opposition, described the discussions as a political dialogue, stating that talks with Congress covered various matters and concerns. He indicated that further discussions would take place upon the return of the Congress delegation from Delhi.
