In a major setback to the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Tripura, the party's state chief, Pijush Kanti Biswas, stepped down from the post and the primary membership of the party.
In poll-bound Tripura, the Trinamool Congress is putting all efforts, including running campaigns by party chief Mamata Banerjee, asking voters to dump the national parties - BJP, Congress and the Left - and choose the Trinamool as an alternative.
With a key promise to provide two lakh jobs in five years, Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Sunday released the party's election manifesto for the upcoming Tripura Assembly elections a fortnight before the polls.
The Trinamool plans to organise Duare Sarkar camps at gram panchayat and municipal ward levels to provide doorstep delivery of services and welfare schemes, just as in West Bengal.
