Once Monarchak begins power generation in full load, the entire 101 MW would be given to Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL) which would further resolve the electricity crisis of the North East region at a large extent, said Biswas.

| CPI-M's Southern lobby, Bengal leaders a | KOLKATA / AGARTALA, Dec 28 (TIWN): The Communist Party of India-Marxist should stop its blind opposition to the Congress and help strengthen secular forces against BJP's Hindutva agenda, V.M. Sudheeran, Kerala's Congress unit chief, said on Monday. He said the ongoing CPI-M party plenum at Kolkata would not result in anything positive unless the communists responded to "the need of the hour" and decide to stop opposing the Congress party blindly. Both Kerala and West Bengal are due for assembly elections next year and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appears to be gaining ground in both states. His comment comes at a time when in West Bengal, until a few years ago an impregnable communist stronghold, both CPI-M and the Congress are having a tough time with the ruling Trinamool Congress on a strong wicket and the BJP making inroads there. As the four-day CPI-M plenum started in Kolkata on Sunday, General Secretary Sitaram Yechury said strengthening the party organisation had become all the more important "given the concerted attack by rightwing reactionary elements against the CPI-M, particularly in our stronghold of West Bengal". Kolkata plenum was aimed at restoring CPI-M's rock bottom popularity and acceptance among masses, so party is trying its level best to sail through with the help of Congress. | 28-Dec-2015 |
