Tripura Polls

A Tripura BJP leader was arrested today for allegedly assaulting a presiding officer at a polling station in Bagbasa constituency on Friday.

Around 2,500 voters crossed fencing on the India-Bangladesh border to cast their votes in Tripura on April 19.

Chief Electoral Officer Tripura Puneet Agarwal on Tuesday said that as many as 13 officials were placed under suspension while seizure of materials and cash worth a total value of Rs 26 crore were seized while the Model Code of Conduct was in force.

Tripura Congress leader Sudip Roy Barman on Wednesday sought CPI (M)'s support to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls to two parliamentary constituencies in the northeastern state.

A week after the INDIA alliance said it will contest next year's Lok Sabha election "together", the "as far as possible" addendum has become evident in bypolls in Kerala, Uttarakhand and Bengal, where INDIA members are fighting each other.

Bypolls to seven assembly seats including the one vacated following the death of Congress veteran Oommen Chandy will be held on September 5, the Election Commission said on Tuesday.

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday asserted that the state BJP is determined to "gift two lotuses" to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in next year's Lok Sabha elections.

Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma, chief of Tipra Motha Party (TMP), on Friday said he has asked allhis party MLAs to open offices in their constituencies to connect to the people at ground level.

The re-elected Chief Ministers of the three northeastern states that went to Assembly polls recently called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi separately in the national capital, the first time after being sworn-in in their respective states.

Rajya Sabha MP Elamaram Kareem who led an 8-member fact-finding team to Tripura in the post-poll violence-hit areas on Sunday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party workers unleashed "unbridled attacks" on the people

A parliamentary team that came to BJP-ruled Tripura on Friday to investigate post-poll political violence and talk to the affected people was attacked. The team is on a two-day visit.

Hours ahead of meeting the BJP leadership for talks on a possible alliance, Tripura's former royal and Tipra Motha leader Pradyot Manikya Debbarma tweeted this morning that he "has not compromised" and asked his followers to "wait and watch".

A week after it posted a comfortable win in Tripura, the BJP is learnt to have reached out again to tribal party Tipra Motha, which emerged as the big story in this Assembly election by winning 13 seats.

Unwilling to accept that it won a wafer-thin majority in the Tripura polls, the BJP is unleashing an "orgy of violence" in the state, the CPI(M) said on Monday.
