The BJP credited the favourable results in Tripura, where the party is leading in majority of seats, to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and people of the state’s desire for change.
The BJP was leading in 29 seats while its ally Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT) was ahead in eight seats in Tripura.
The ruling CPI(M), which is power for the last 25 years, was ahead in 17 seats, according to the trends available.
“The prime minister had addressed four rallies in Tripura. He had worked very hard and continuously monitored our campaigning.
The credit must go to him,” BJP general secretary Ram Madhav said .
He said people of Tripura has also positively responded to the BJP’s call for defeating the CPI-M-led government, which has been ruling the state for more than two decades.
“People responded very well to our call Chalo Paltai (Let’s Change),” he said.
