Counting of votes in three ghost states today, eyes on Tripura elections across the country

Among the three states, Tripura is such a state on which all are contenders at the national level because ideologically, winning here is considered very important for the BJP. It is also significant as the traditional rivals Congress and the Left have joined hands for the first time to challenge the BJP in the elections to the state’s 60-member assembly. In this battle between the national parties, there is Tipra Motha led by Pradyot Debbarma which has emerged as a dominant force in the politics of the state.

Its impact has upset traditional bonds among a large section of the tribal population. Its founder Debbarma is a scion of the erstwhile royal family and is considered to have a special influence among the tribal population of the state. In the last election, the BJP and its ally, the Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPST), did well in the tribal areas. In the last elections, the BJP was eyeing 36 seats and the IPFT was eyeing eight seats. After the death of NC Debbarma, the founder of IPFT, it is believed that the influence of the party has decreased. In such a situation, the burden of securing a majority is largely in the hands of the BJP, while it has two main rivals.

In Tripura, which had been a stronghold of the Left parties for two decades, the BJP had registered a landslide victory in 2018 and had hidden this fort. Earlier in 2013 elections, BJP could not win even a single seat. However, in 2018, the BJP surprisingly projected its rivals to victory as its ideological party. In such a situation, if BJP loses here, it will be seen as a sign. Even though Tripura has a relatively minor influence on the national scene, Tripura and Nagaland, both of which remain regional big-party players, have sought to increase their inroads in the state, with the BJP including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. Running a streamer campaign for.

For the first time, the BJP is contesting all 60 constituencies in Meghalaya and continues to focus on National People’s Party leader and Sir Conrad Sangma running the country’s “most corrupt” state government. In Meghalaya, the BJP was in alliance with the Meghalaya-led government but broke the alliance before the elections. The party hopes that his tally in the assembly and the number of looks could increase over the four flavours. After the last elections, there was a hung assembly and this time also such a possibility is being expressed.

BJP’s strategy for ghost territory and picture of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma had met Sangma after the elections and indicated that the two parties could work together again. An interesting aspect of these elections is the West Bengal Congress led by Mamata Banerjee. The ruling party of Bengal is also going all out in these elections and trying to project itself as a stronger rival against the BJP than the Congress. It will be interesting to see how colored this effort of Banerjee is before the 10th election.

Congress has also launched a massive campaign in these states. Rahul Gandhi has held a rally in Meghalaya. Congress is trying to get back its influence. In Nagaland, BJP has again entered the elections in alliance with Andy PP. On Tuesday, Sharma claimed that there would be no hung assembly in Tripura, Nagaland or Meghalaya and the BJP-led NDA would form government with absolute majority in the trio states. Most of the post-poll polls predict a hung assembly in Meghalaya.
