AGARTALA / JIRANIA, April 13 (TIWN): As no arrest of the culprits were done on Sunday even after lodging FIR, thus post poll violence of BJP increased in midnight across Tripura. In such an incident, BJP goons attacked CPI-M Sub-Divisional Secretary Tarun Datta’s House at Khayerpur Sub-Division on yesterday midnight aimed to generate terror. Also petrol bomb was blasted at Khayerpur and whole night attacks went on in Jirania and Bishalgarh. Already voters’ prevention was reported in many areas in poll hours and the voting percentage thus downed at 73% whereas on 11th April due to huge fake vote casting voting percentage was around 85%. On the other side as BJP could not capture booths like 11th April, it has blasted the CEO. BJP MP candidate Pratima Bhowmik has called BSF, Police are party workers of CPI-M and Congress.

Voting percentage was dropped a little at 72.35% in West Tripura Re-Poll whereas the percentage may increase more. West District-74 %, Sepahijala District-68%, Gomati District-73%, South Tripura District-74.42%. In few places rigging attempt was alleged, with few untoward incidents led police complaints also by opposition. But voters prevention was reported in many places and it’s visible with down voting rate. The Re-Poll started in West Tripura constituency’s 168 polling booths on Sunday morning 7 am. Polling and continued till 5 pm. The assembly segments in Tripura West include Simna (ST), Mohanpur, Bamutia (SC), Barjala (SC), Khayerpur, Ramnagar, Town Bordowali, Majlishpur, Mandai Bazar, Takarjala (ST), Pratapgarh (SC), Badharghat (SC), Kamalasagar, Bishalgarh, Golghati, Charilam, Boxanagar, Nalchar, Sonamura, Dhanpur, Bagma (ST), Radhakishorepur, Matabari, Kakraban-Salgarah (SC), Rajnagar (SC) and Belonia. Since early morning rows of voters were observed before polling stations. The re-election was followed by massive rigging in West Tripura poll on April 11.

Pratima Bhowmik has desperately blamed the Central forces accusing them for terrorizing voters.

However, Bhowmik looked happy as rigged 400 booths left without re-polling.

Pratima Bhowmik blamed that due to central force people didn’t come out of houses for voting. Such logic was earlier given by another BJP MLA Ram Prasad Paul, whereas Central Forces always encourage people and discourage criminals.

CPI-M on Sunday after the re-poll for West Tripura constituency completed, said that the poll was not 100% peaceful as many voters could not come out for votes.

On being asked by media whether CPI-M will demand re-poll in the crucial booths which were rigged today, Gautam Das that CPI-M will not demand but the party will wait for the Supreme Court hearing about re-poll.

Congress has condemned various attacks upon Congress candidates throughout Tripura during poll houses, calling the BJP as “shameless”.
