On Tripura Election Verdict

 CPI(M)  Polit Bureau has issued the following statement on March 3, 2018.

THE verdict of the people of Tripura will lead to the formation of a BJP-IPFT alliance government in the state.  After 25 years in government, the Left Front has been voted out of office.

The BJP has, apart from other factors, utilised massive deployment of money and other resources to influence the elections.  The BJP was able to consolidate all the anti-Left votes virtually appropriating the erstwhile main opposition party, the Congress. 

The Polit Bureau thanks the 45 per cent of the voters who extended support to the CPI(M) and the Left Front. The Party will carefully examine the reasons for this electoral setback and take necessary remedial measures. 

The CPI(M) assures the people of Tripura that it will continue to champion the cause of all sections of the working people and uphold tribal-non tribal unity.
