Tripura CPI-M MLA switches to saffron, likely to get BJP ticket

Agartala, Jan 27 (UNI) Failing to secure party nomination from Kailashahar of Unakoti district, sitting CPI-M MLA Moboshar Ali on Friday switched to the BJP with an assurance that he would be made the saffron outfit's candidate from the same constituency in the February 16 Tripura Assembly poll.
CPI-M State Secretary Jitendra Chowdhury said that following detailed discussions with Ali in the greater interest of anti-BJP unity, the party had sacrificed Kailashahar constituency for Congress from where its state npresident Birjit Sinha is likely to be in the fray.
“Moboshar Ali gladly accepted the proposal because under BJP’s rule people of Tripura have suffered a lot for five years and Ali himself was attacked several times by BJP goons. The party had made him MLA in 2018 considering his past and trust in his communist behaviour but just for not getting a nomination he switched to a party that the people of the state have decided to oust. It’s really unfortunate,” Chowdhury said.
