Agartala, 10th November 2025: Former Tripura Minister and senior Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman on Monday asserted that the CPIM has no political future in Tripura, claiming that supporting the Left party indirectly benefits the BJP.
Speaking at a joining programme in Dharmanagar, North Tripura, where 137 families formally joined the Congress, Roy Barman said people in the state are now turning towards the Congress for change and good governance. The event was attended by Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee president Asish Kumar Saha.
“Supporting CPIM means helping BJP. People have not forgotten 25 years of Left rule. After witnessing both CPIM and BJP governments, people now want Congress in power,” he said.
Of the new entrants, 102 families came from CPIM while 35 were from other backgrounds. Roy Barman claimed that only the Congress can effectively counter the “fascist BJP” and accused the ruling party of misusing the Election Commission and manipulating votes.
He also attacked the BJP-led government over unemployment, rising crimes, and the state’s worsening drug problem. “Despite being a double-engine government, BJP has failed to bring jobs, industries, or investment,” he alleged, vowing that Congress will contest the next assembly polls alone.
