This is for the first time in the electoral history of Tripura when ruling party faced decadence and hit badly by an internal squabble among the leaders that led to massive violence during Loksabha elections in the state. The BJP and Congress fielded fresh candidates in West Tripura general seat and East Tripura tribal reserved constituency against the sitting MPs and veteran politicians. Most interestingly BJP’s ally in the government Indigenous Peoples’ Front of Tripura (IPFT) has put their independent candidates in Loksabha seats against BJP and others. The East Tripura candidate of IPFT is the President of the party and Revenue and Fishery Minister of Biplab Kumar Deb cabinet N C Debbarma and in West, Tripura sitting MLA of the party Brishketu Debbaram becomes a candidate. The BJP fielded their most aspirant female leader and party general secretary Pratima Bhowmik from West Tripura and a school teacher and greenhorn in politics Rebati Tripura.
