CPI(M) Gains Ground in TTAADC Areas as BJP Supporters Switch Sides Ahead of VC Polls

Agartala, September 8, 2026: The CPI(M) has stepped up its efforts to regain political ground in areas under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).

The move comes ahead of the September 28 Village Committee elections. The party has also received a boost after some BJP candidates and supporters reportedly joined its ranks.

The recent political shifts have added another layer to an already competitive election.

BJP Leaders and Supporters Join CPI(M)

Several BJP-linked candidates and supporters have reportedly moved to the CPI(M) in different TTAADC areas.

The switches have drawn attention because they come just weeks before voters head to the polls.

For the CPI(M), every new local-level supporter could strengthen its election network.

However, the actual impact of these movements will depend on voter support on polling day.

CPI(M) Focuses on Grassroots Organisation

The Left party is now putting greater emphasis on its organisation in tribal areas.

Party workers are reaching out to voters and raising local issues during their campaign.

The strategy focuses on building support at the village level rather than relying only on senior leaders.

Meanwhile, other parties are also working hard to secure their position before the elections.

BJP and Tipra Motha Face Local Challenges

The BJP and Tipra Motha have been discussing seat sharing for the Village Committee elections.

While the proposed arrangement is aimed at strengthening their electoral position, it has also triggered dissatisfaction in some local areas.

Recent developments show that party-level agreements do not always translate smoothly at the grassroots.

As a result, candidate selection and local support could play a major role in the polls.

September 28 Polls Will Test Political Strength

The Village Committee elections will provide an important test for all major political parties.

For the CPI(M), the immediate goal is to expand its presence in areas where its influence has declined.

At the same time, BJP and Tipra Motha will seek to protect and expand their support base.

Therefore, the coming days are likely to see more political movement across the TTAADC region.

The final result on September 28 will reveal whether the CPI(M)’s latest efforts can convert recent political shifts into electoral gains.
