CPM accuses attack on former Tripura CM’s convoy; BJP denies allegation

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) publicly alleged that a convoy carrying a former chief minister of Tripura came under attack. The party’s statement did not provide details about the location, timing or nature of the alleged incident. In response, officials of the Bharatiya Janata Party categorically denied the accusation, stating that no such attack took place. Both parties have called for clarification, but no further information has been released by police or other authorities. The dispute highlights the continuing political tension between the CPM and BJP in the northeastern state.

The CPM’s claim was reported through party channels, prompting a swift rebuttal from BJP spokespersons who described the allegation as baseless. No injuries or damages have been confirmed, and law‑enforcement agencies have not issued an official statement as of now.

Observers note that the exchange may influence upcoming political dynamics in Tripura, where the two parties vie for influence ahead of future electoral contests.
