Tripura BJP to draw a blank in Centre on Lok Sabha election, claims Congress

Claiming that BJP would fail to form government in the Centre in 2024, Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee president Birajit Sinha said that Congress and along with other opposition political parties would rule the country after the 2024 Lok Sabha poll.

Addressing a press conference, PCC Chief Sinha who is also MLA in the state, has said, “In the coming Lok Sabha election Prime Minister Narendra Modi can’t form government. As opposition parties and Congress would form a government. In the Northeast also we have observed that whenever the government changed in the centre, the leaders also changed their party. In the Northeast region most of the Chief Ministers, and ministers are having DNA of Congress. We strongly believe that in the 2024 election, there will be a wave against BJP. Soon after the state assembly election concluded political violence has been carried out on opposition party workers though it is now decreased. On May first week, we will hold an organizational meeting starting from block Congress. We are confident that an atmosphere will be created against BJP across the state”.
