AGARTALA, Aug 11 (TIWN): BJP-IPFT’s relaxation is now under heavy challenge as BJP MP Rebati Tripura whose family members were attacked in home allegedly by IPFT cadres recently has expressed doubts about the future of BJP-IPFT’s relation. Referring news reports, MP Rebati Tripura said time to time newspaper reports show what’s going due to such distasteful activities of them (IPFT) and we also have taken actions time to time accordingly, but BJP believes in “Sab Ka Satha, Sab Ka Bikas and Sab Ka Biswas”. There is no other agenda of BJP except to form “Ek Tripura, Srestha Tripura”, said the MP. Addressing media, Rebati Tripura said, “It is often said that BJP’s strength is not good in hills but it is not correct and the recent Lok Sabha election has proved BJP’s strength in hills, but still BJP national president Amit Shah has directed us to move ahead to strengthen BJP’s base in hills (ADC areas) more.

On being asked by media, whether BJP IPFT alliance will exist in future, Rebati Tripura said that it can not be said now whether the alliance will stay or not  but BJP will never compromise with its ‘Ek Tripura, Shrestha Tripura’ formula.

BJP-IPFT has formed Govt in Tripura in alliance on March 9, 2018 but in last 16 months there were uncountable clashes between BJP and IPFT. IPFT is considered as BJP’s vote bank base among ADC areas people, athough in MP election IPFT miserably failed.

Also, when BJP believes in One Tripura, IPFT’s cause as a party is a separate State for Tripura Tipraland.

Thus, BJP now has focused to strengthen the party so that without IPFT it can battle the Assembly Election after 3 and half years. Rebati Tripura is a fresh leader in Tripura politics and unlike West Tripura MP Reabti has a clean image.
