NDA lacks internal democracy: Manik

Agartala: CPM politburo member and former Tripura chief minister Manik Sarkar on Thursday said the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) lacks internal democracy. “The NDA has set a target of winning 400 seats in the Lok Sabha elections with the BJP itself targeting to win 370 seats alone, leaving only 30 seats for the 32 non-BJP partners,” he said, while addressing an election rally in South Tripura's Belonia. “We don't have any problem with that. It is up to the NDA partners what they think of BJP’s target. But if the target materialises, then how will democracy sustain? If the BJP returns to power, this will be the last election in the country,” he said. pti
