Talks between left parties and the Congress are still ongoing, with a final call expected before the nomination withdrawal deadline, senior leader Jitendra Chaudhary said.
New Delhi – Sources close to the negotiations confirmed that discussions between the left parties and the Indian National Congress remain active. Both sides are reportedly weighing a joint understanding that could reshape contesting strategies in the upcoming elections.
Senior leader Jitendra Chaudhary, speaking to Tripura Times, said the parties have kept the possibility of an alliance on the table and expect to reach a definitive decision before the nomination withdrawal deadline closes.
Political analysts note that a left-Congress partnership could consolidate anti-incumbent votes in several constituencies, potentially influencing the overall electoral arithmetic. The timing of the decision is crucial, as candidates must finalize their nominations by the stipulated deadline.
The exact date of the withdrawal deadline has not been disclosed, but officials indicate that the window for finalizing any alliance is narrowing rapidly.
