The centrally ruling party has added yet another feather in its cap by winning in the three tier Tripura Panchayat elections.

While the opposition parties cried foul play, yet they managed to win some seats in Tripura. Major contesting parties were BJP, Congress, CPI(M) and some indigenous parties of the region that represented the Modi government. Since the ballot system was used, so it took some time for the result to be declared. Special security forces were appointed to avoid any kind of mishap during the counting of votes.
After leading through a successful 95% seats across gram panchayats, panchayat samitis and zila parishad, the BJP thanked people for making it win.
