Agartala, Dec 20: A three members team of Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee 

(TPCC) headed by it’s president Birjit Sinha held preparatory meeting with newly elected AICC chief Rahul Gandhi regarding party strategies and plan of action for upcoming assembly poll last night.
Mr Sinha informed media here today that Congress is prepared to hold election as 
scheduled in February next year and from next week the party would start the election 
activities including finalizing the candidates and campaign strategy.
TPCC president accompanied by congress legislative party leader Gopal Roy and 
executive president of TPCC Maharaj Pradyot Kishore Dev Barman held detail discussion on election issues of Tripura with party chief at Delhi where five important sub-committees were constituted by Rahul Gandhi.
“The AICC chief made us clear to do all out fight against communist as well as BJP in 
the coming election, as the party considers both of them are dangerous for India now. 
The congress is historically a democratic party never entertains communal and deceive 
forces to break down the countries texture,” he pointed out.
Mr Sinha said AICC president appointed him as chairman of the election committee 
while Gopal Roy was made co-chairman and Pradyot Kishore became convener. The 
head of the election campaign committee was appointed senior party leader Pijush 
Kanti Biswas and media committee is heading by Hare Krishna Debnath.
Veteran Congress leader Amar Ranjan Gupta was given the responsibility for heading 
election manifesto committee, Mr Sinha said adding that AICC had earlier appointed 
observers for candidate selection who were sent their recommendation after extensive 
study across each of the constituency.
Mr Sinha told UNI over phone that after convincing performance of the party in Gujarat election, Congress is confident to give a strong fight to CPI(M) this time despite the growth of BJP, he claimed.
“In assembly elections also congress secured about 46 percent vote but in 2014 general election the vote share of the party suddenly dropped down. However, silver lining is there – six MLAs who had got elected with congress symbol shifted to BJP and only because that congress re-gained its vote bank,” Mr Sinha added. UNI
