Let the polls be declared then the party will formulate a final strategy," she said, addressing a press conference at a hotel here.

Ms Dev announced that the party would on Friday launch a campaign -- "Tripurar Jonno Trinamool" (TMC for Tripura) -- to reach out to the people of the state.

"The campaign will continue for 10-12 days, covering all 60 assembly constituencies in 58 blocks of eight districts. We will go to the people, interact with them and listen to their problems. Three teams have been formed for the campaign," she said.
