Sources said the meeting assumed political significance as the CPI(M) had recently held discussions with the regional party and sought its support for the bypolls to the Dhanpur and Boxanagar seats in Sepahijala.
Nath emphasized that out of the total budget of Rs. 27,654 crore for development activities, the present government has designated Rs. 5608.72 crore for the tribal sub-plan, which amounts to 39.81% of the development fund, marking a historic high for tribal development in Tripura.
