Tripura election result: The BJP-IPFT alliance on Thursday managed to win Tripura in a nail-bitting contest against Congress and Tipra Motha. A regional party floated by Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, scion of the erstwhile royal family, Tipra Motha, was expected to play a key role in the formation of the government in Tripura. However, the BJP made it to half way mark. The BJP-led alliance returned to power in Tripura winning 33 seats in the 60-member assembly. The Tipra Motha bagged 13 seats, while the Left-Congress alliance secured 14, with Debbarma’s party eating into the Left’s tribal votes. The Trinamool Congress performed poorly winning none of the 28 seats it contested. Its vote share (0.88 per cent) came to less than that of those who stamped None-Of-The-Above (NOTA). Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah thanked the people for voting for progress and stability, while the CPI(M) Politburo said the Left Front will work with renewed commitment and energy to defend the interests of the people. The saffron party contested in 55 seats and won 32, three less than what it bagged in 2018. The party also secured 38.97 per cent of the votes polled. The IPFT, which was affected by a factional fight, managed to emerge victorious in only one seat, while it had got eight seats five years back. Its vote share this time was a meagre 1.26 per cent.
