However, the ruling government vehemently denied allegations of political killings in Tripura after the 2018 assembly elections. BJP spokesperson Nabendu Bhattacharjee said, “This was the first time, there was no political killing after the 2018 assembly elections. Earlier, we used to see heavy post-poll violence.”
Criticizing the BJP-IPFT government, the former Chief Minister said that there was one-sided rule in the state. He said, ‘The voice of the people is being throttled. Elections are not being held in a free and fair manner…”
