The ruling CPI-M this time dropped both its sitting MPs - Das and Bajuban Reang (East Tripura), who has won the seat a record seven times since 1980.
The CPI-M is focusing on the development work it has done in Tripura, while attacking the Congress led UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government for poor governance, price rise and corruption in the country.
The opposition is harping on Left's miss-governance, unemployment and rising crimes against women in Tripura.
