I Believe Votes got Transferred: Sudip Roy Barman

AGARTALA: The Bharatiya Janata Party managed to get a clear majority in the state of Tripura by securing 32 seats out of the total 60 and the TIPRA Motha Party secured 13 seats. The results however did not come as expected for the Congress and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) alliance with them securing just 14 seats.

The Indian National Congress can claim it to be a tiny success for them as they managed to secure a total 3 seats among the available 60, a considerable improvement compared to their previous zero representation in the house.

Sudip Roy Barman a former minister and a leader of the Congress party mentioned that the Left and Congress alliance were expecting an easy victory in the state of Tripura, but the results were not as they expected.

“I believe votes got transferred. There might have been some organisational failure or weakness somewhere, it could be anything. I don’t want to make any comments at this point of time.” he mentioned on an interview.

He also mentioned that the clear majority of the Bharatiya Janata Party demolished all hopes of the Left and Congress alliance which had formed the opposition in the state in the previous elections. The alliance between the unlikely partners failed to give any of them any noticeable mileage mentioned the leader while expressing his respect towards the choice made by the people of the state.

“What was the point of these so-called peace meetings (by the Election Commission)? For whom did the administration do those peace meetings? Law-breakers are taking law into their own hands, the police are not doing anything. There is complete lawlessness, arson, looting. People are being assaulted. All these are tantamount to the fact that this is the new version of the BJP’s Bijoy Utsav, “ he mentioned while talking about the multiple incidents of violence in the state after the counting process was over in the state.
