LF, Congress move together in Tripura poll campaign assailing BJP

Agartala, Feb 5 (UNI) For long bitter political rivals in Tripura, the CPI-M-led Left Front and Congress have come together for the upcoming Assembly elections in the tiny north eastern state to take on the ruling BJP and launched a joint campaign.
After lot of hitches, the LF and the Congress have finalised their seat adjustment, with the former contesting in 46 seats in the 60-member House. The Congress is in the fray in 13 seats, and would extent support to an LF-backed independent in the Ramnagar constituency.
Perhaps in a bid to convince their respective workers, fed up on a political diet of mutual hatred towards each other through the decades, the leaders of both LF and the Congress have been harping on the theme of "unity for a greater cause" while repeatedly stressing on, what they call, the need to ease out the politics of violence and atrocity of the saffron brigade.
