Despite an earlier seat-sharing agreement between BJP and Tipra Motha, some constituencies still have candidates from both parties contesting against each other. Debbarma, in a Facebook post in Kokborok, stressed the need for local-level coordination to resolve these overlaps. His call highlights ongoing grassroots challenges in translating top-level alliances into smooth ground-level execution. With 4,597 seats across 587 Village Committees up for grabs, maintaining unity within the NDA will be crucial; not just for victory, but to avoid voter confusion and internal friction. As campaigning intensifies, how the alliance manages these ‘friendly fights’ could determine its strength in Tripura’s tribal areas.
