“Some CPI-M MLAs are in touch with the BJP. They are not happy with Manik Sarkar. The MLAs have informed us that Manik Sarkar cannot tolerate the rise of others in the state’s politics,” Tripura minister Sushanta Chowdhury said.
Chowdhury’s claim came after former Tripura CM and CPI-M stalwart Manik Sarkar accused PM Modi of delivering a misleading speech during January 4 visit to the state.
