AGARTALA: Political activity has intensified ahead of the upcoming Village Committee (VC) elections under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), with former Chief Minister and CPI(M) leader Manik Sarkar reacting to the polls.
The elections, due to be held after a long gap in ADC areas, are being viewed as significant, with political parties across the spectrum stepping up organisational preparations ahead of voting.
In his statement, Sarkar raised concerns over the rights of people living in ADC areas, the functioning of democratic institutions, and the pace of development in the region. His remarks have triggered fresh discussion among political circles in the run-up to the election.
With the VC polls seen as a key indicator of political sentiment in tribal-dominated areas, parties are expected to intensify campaigning in the coming days. No official election schedule has been announced so far.
