**Trinamool Congress Delegation Visits Tripura Amidst Tensions, Alleges BJP Vandalism**

**KOLKATA, Oct 9, 2025** – A five-member Trinamool Congress (TMC) delegation from West Bengal, including two Members of Parliament and a state minister, visited Tripura on Wednesday following the alleged vandalism of their party office in Agartala. The TMC has accused workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of carrying out the attack.

The delegation, led by MP Saayoni Ghosh, claims that their arrival in Tripura was met with resistance, with drivers allegedly being threatened and the group initially prevented from leaving the Agartala airport. The TMC was forced to hold a sit-down demonstration at the airport.

“When BJP leaders from Tripura visit West Bengal, they roam around freely,” TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said, “But when we visit Tripura under BJP rule, we see hotels getting vandalised, hotel owners being threatened, our workers being assaulted.”

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee condemned the incident, questioning the “double-engine BJP government” of Tripura and citing previous attacks on TMC leaders in the state.

The delegation met with the Director General of Police of Tripura to discuss the attack on their party office and the issues encountered at the airport. They are expected to meet with the Governor of Tripura soon.

The BJP has dismissed the TMC’s allegations, accusing the party of attempting to distract the public. “Why would BJP want to do that when Trinamool has no existence in Tripura?” questioned BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul.

The visit underscores the ongoing political tensions between the TMC and BJP, particularly in states where both parties are vying for influence. The incident follows recent reports of attacks on BJP members in West Bengal, further escalating the conflict.
