In the backdrop of Trinamool Congress's recent attempt to expand its footprints from Bengal to Tripura, the BJP's national president J P Nadda will be visiting Tripura from January 10 to January 11 to reassess organisational strategy and enthuse party cadre.
Nadda is to address State executive and also sort out tribal differences between the BJP and its ally, Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura. The central leadership is continuing to back Chief Minister as the State is to face Assembly poll in 2023.
BJP has recently scored decisive election victory in the local civic elections winning 329 of 334.
BJP is trying to thwart TMC from wooing its MLAs in the State as the latter has done in Bengal. TMC's aggressive moves in the state too would figure in the discussions during Nadda's two-day visit according to central functionaries.
The latest visit of Prime Minister to Tripura where he inaugurated an integrated terminal at Maharaja Bir Bikram airport this week is again part of the Central Government's increasing focus on the state which had been for decades a left bastion.
