After the election conflagration in Tripura, the campaigning of all the parties is in full swing. While the BJP is leaving no stone unturned to save power, the Left is trying to take back its stronghold once again. The effort of the Congress is to increase its numbers from zero. This time the Tripura elections are different in many ways. The Congress has decided to contest the elections in alliance with the Left. Along with this, the entry of Tipra Motha has also made the election interesting.

Earlier Congress got only 13 seats in the Left-led alliance in Tripura elections. The party hopes that it will not repeat the previous performance this time. In the last assembly elections held in 2018, the account of Congress was also not opened. However, after Sudip Roy Burman left BJP and joined Congress last year, one seat came in the party’s account in the by-election. Sudip Roy Burman is the party’s candidate this time too.
The good thing for the Congress this time is that it has got 13 seats in its account. Among them, there are 5 seats where the party lost in 2018 by a margin of 5 thousand or less votes. Although, its focus is on 13 seats, but it is paying special attention to these 5 seats. After being in the alliance, the party does not want to make any mistake on these seats at any cost. Let’s have a look at these seats.
Two seats with a difference of less than two thousand
The Pencharthal seat is included in the 13 seats that have come in the account of the Congress. Last time Congress lost the election here by a margin of just 1373 votes. This time the party has nominated Sadhan Kumar Chakma as its candidate.
