AGARTALA, March 20 (TIWN): In the upcoming TTAADC Election, CPIM party terrified by the emerging of Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura. For the second time, after the year 2000, TTAADC election has snatched away the sleep of the heavy weight leaders of the ruling party.

It is also known from the sources that, to discuss the strategies of the election and to decide the name of the candidates for the upcoming election, the CPIM State Committee meeting will perhaps to be scheduled in the last week of March or the first week of April.

In the mean time, IPFT is confident of winning the election by single majority vote. The leaders of the party told that their main demands are direct funding by the Centre and uniform empowerment of the tribal councils. They also demand transfer of land rights and all departments to the tribal council, including the higher education department. The party had already started developmental works in hilly area villages that are deprived of civic amenities.

It is to be mentioned here that a section of the people of the state might have been awaken up to the corruptions and scams under the regime of the left front govt. Not only that the construction of houses under Indira Abas Yojna, Distribution of Patta, creation of work under MGnReGA scheme and various other measures were adopted by the CPIM Cadres to stage their victory.
