Elections are still a year away in Tripura but the political battle has begun to heat up. With the BJP entering the equation and an aggressive Trinamool Congress coming out of a stupendous victory in West Bengal, the ruling Left in Tripura has reasons to be worried. "If I have understood Tripura, If I love the people of Tripura, then I believe it's time for the CPM to go. Their days are counted. When the Tripura elections come, we will repeat what happened in West Bengal in 2011, here in 2018," said the fiery West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee at a rally on Saturday.
