Guwahati News Desk: Winning all the seats of the 51-member Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) and clinching several other urban local bodies, the ruling BJP swept the recent civic body elections held in Tripura.
The final results were declared on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the opposition Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) failed to open their account in the AMC.
Reacting to the impressive performance by his party, the Vice President of BJP, Dilip Ghosh, said that the results of Tripura civic polls have exposed the “hollowness” of TMC’s claims of having made inroads into the northeastern state.
In addition, Ghosh emphasized on people having fath in the saffron party.
Further describing TMC workers campaigning in Tripura as “hired people”, Ghosh asserted that his party shares a “strong bond” with the residents of that state. Ghosh added, “The civic poll results are on expected lines. The TMC did not have any chance to open its account in Tripura, they only made noises. This verdict shows hired people from West Bengal cannot help a party create a base in a state, which has faith in the BJP.”
