Media reports suggested that BJP was earlier in talks with TIPRA, a regional party founded by former Congress leader Pradyot Deb Barma. However, a pre-poll alliance has been ruled out now.
The BJP's chief opponent, the CPI(M), is fighting the state election in alliance with the Congress. Once the arch-rivals in the state, the duo has joined hands to defeat the BJP in the upcoming polls.
The BJP created history in Tripura when it won the state election for the first time in 2018 after the CPM's uninterrupted 25 years rule. The state was once considered Left's bastion along with West Bengal and Kerala. The CPM also lost power in West Bengal in 2011, when Mamata Banerjee led TMC won a landslide victory in the state.
The Tripura Assembly election is scheduled to be held on February 16 with results to be announced on March 2.
