Who will assume office as the next CM? Northeast Election Verdict Analysis

BJP had unleashed violence against Left cadres in Tripura after its victory, he alleged.

The Congress, which had 10 members in the outgoing Assembly, drew a blank this time.

The Election Commission on Saturday declared 29 seats for the NDPP-BJP combine and 30 for Mr. Zeliang’s NPF and two of its allies.

The deep state, now bolstered by the communo-industrial complex coalesced in the BJP and its lumpenbourgeoisie, has managed to set into motion what historicity had predicted in the former feudal-monarchy of Tripura. Some credit needs to go to Narendra Modi and Amit Shah for transforming the party into the election-winning machine it is today. Voters saw the BJP as a viable alternative to the multiple-term incumbent Left, led by Chief Minister Manik Sarkar.

For a Hindu nationalist party like the BJP to win over these electorates was “surprising”, said Pradip Kumar Datta, a professor of political theory at New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University. “The BJP has two ministers in my cabinet”, he told NDTV.

The CPM has won 11 seats and is leading in five.

Results and trends were available for 57 seats only. On results day, March 3, Mr Zeliang said although the BJP has a formal alliance with the NDPP, the doors of the NPF were open for the BJP to come and join.

“We have not parted with the alliance”.

By participating in the happiness of the people of the North-East through the Assembly polls results, the whole country has sent a strong message that they were with their dreams and sentiments, he said.

The BJP may also share power even in hung Meghalaya despite the Congress emerging as the single-largest party.

And on the other hand, from being in power in the state for 25 long years to now reduced to less than one-third seats in the state.

The NDPP and the BJP have won 18 and 12 seats respectively while the lone JD (U) MLA G Kaito Aye and Independent legislator Tongpang Ozukum were backing the alliance, Metha said.

The NDPP staked claim to form the Government with Rio claiming the support of 32 MLAs in the 60-member Assembly. “We will prove our majority whenever the governor asks”, he told TV channels in Shillong. A total of 290 candidates, including 23 women, of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist, CPI, BJP and Congress and many independents, were in the fray.

The main aim of RSS’s social service initiatives was to counter the fear spread by churches, earn the confidence of the local people and break their mindset about RSS while ensuring that they are not coerced or induced into converting their religion.
