Before Municipal Election, Tripura had Panchayat poll election where 96% seats were occupied by BJP by force and then massive violence was experienced during nomination submission. 

Although total numbers of vacant seats were 3207 but only for 132 seats voting was held as others left unontested. Rest seats have won by BJP without any contest.

BJP also attacked IPFT activists, leaders by stopping them to submit nominations and IPFT was almost breaking the alliance after mass beaten. 

The violence didn't end at there. Massive violence, attacks, poll rigging have been reported on the on the counting day of Panchayat by-election.When oppositions could not submit nominations, the ruling BJP and IPFT have alleged each other for casting extra votes by force in Khowai poll centre during by-election procedure. The booth had undergone re-polling. 

The fear factor which BJP wants to keep alive among people was displayed when one Ajit Das’s shop was vandalized after he performed his duty as polling agent of CPI-M. A viral video on ballot paper rigging at Panisagar has become viral, the seat which resulted in draw between CPI-M & BJP.

Now in the same way BJP has forced Municipal Councilors to resign from posts to conduct the Election.
