With an aim to make Trinamool Congress’ base strong in Tripura, 22 members of poll strategist Prashant Kishor’s I-Pac were visiting Tripura last week and according to I-Pac sources the team has been forcibly detained in the Hotel and is not allowed to step out.

Sources said that Prashant Kishore's surveyors had arrived here more than a week ago and had been moving in different parts of the state to conduct their survey.

It is pertinent to mention that in keeping with 2023 Tripura Assembly polls, the Trinamool Congress is trying to emerge as an alternative party to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state.
Notably, several TMC supporters were arrested on July 21 in Tripura for allegedly breaking COVID-19 protocols and assembling in large numbers to hear West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s speech on TMC martyr’s day on July 21.
