Agartala: After neighbouring Assam, the relation between the ruling BJP and its junior ally Indigenous People s Front of Tripura (IPFT) turned bitter ahead of the April 4 elections to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), which is considered as the mini-state Assembly in terms of political significance.
Both the BJP and the IPFT are yet to finalise their seat-sharing in the 28-member TTAADC and even the leaders of the two parties are acusing each other on the issue.

The Madhya Pradesh chief minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, has been repeatedly betraying his desperation to make his loyalty to the current regime at the Centre known. He was once seen as a competitor to Narendra Modi, who was then the CM of the neighbouring state of Gujarat. If Modi was a popular three-term CM, so was Chouhan, or Mama
ji, as he is popularly known. Chouhan would not dare to recall the memory of those days; now, he is time and again heard eulogizing Modi.
