Those who Lose Make the Biggest Noise Before the Defeat: TIPRA Chief

AGARTALA: Post completion of the polls in Meghalaya and Nagaland, and the subsequent three hours, the ban on the publication of any exit polls for the states of Nagaland, Meghalaya and Tripura by the election commission came to an end. And soon after that, multiple media houses published their own version of the exit polls in the states.

Most of these exit polls showed the Bharatiya Janta Party-Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura and the Tipra Motha at the top of the competition. Several of them have predicted a comfortable victory of the alliance and re-formation of the state government under Manik Saha. This triggered Bharatiya Janata Party workers and supporters to start early celebrations in the state. Reacting to this, the chief of the TIPRA Motha Party, Pradyot Manikya Deb Barman called on his party workers and mentioned that this celebration will bring out the imminent defeat to the group.

"Don't be sad over the exit polls shown on the television. You voted and you know whom you voted for. These people will write anything for money. Don't worry and just wait for another 36 hours and after that entire India will come to know what Tiprasa is going to do this time," mentioned the leader.

"Those who are bursting crackers now, we will have to help them after the results on March 2 because they would spend all their money bursting crackers by then. And then we will talk about the main constitutional solution. I am talking to you all...don't worry. Those who lose make the biggest noise before the defeat," he added.

The TIPRA Motha had fielded a total of 42 candidates in the elections for the 60-member house, out of which 20 were reserved for tribal candidates of the state.

The counting of the votes will be carried out on March 2 in Tripura alongside Meghalaya and Nagaland.
