One state we will snatch from the Communists is #Tripura. We have got the edge in #Nagaland. In #Meghalaya, it was polarised b/w Christians and non-Christians, and it is unfortunate that Congress used the communal card there, but still we will gain tremendously: Subramanian Swamy pic.twitter.com/WMF1GmKN0p — ANI (@ANI) March 2, 2018 Mamata says CPI-M lacked spirit to resist BJP in Tripura polls   West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said the ruling CPI(M) in Tripura had never shown any seriousness to resist the saffron party in that state.   Instead of challenging the BJP in Tripura, the CPI(M) is busy opposing the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal, she said.     Had there been any seriousness on its part, the CPI(M) which is the ruling party in Tripura, could have received cooperation from the TMC, even though the latter was not that strong in that state, Banerjee said in the West Bengal Assembly while countering the Left party's strong opposition to the West Bengal Official Language (Second Amendment) Bill, 2018. The TMC supremo alleged that the Left party "left space" for the BJP in Tripura.
