AGARTALA, Nov 28 (TIWN): Trinamool Congress has thanked the voters for voting TMC amid massive violence launched by BJP centering the Municipal poll and majority of the voters could not cast votes.

Talking to media, TMC Convener Subal Bhowmik said, "The poll was fully rigged and nothing to say newly about that, but the people who still cast their votes amid massive terror and booth capturing by BJP, we thank them".

"TMC will continue to play role to save people's lives and property. Heavy attacks are going on our workers but TMC will not quit", said Subal Bhowmik.

The Trinamool Congress secured over 20 per cent votes and second position in 27 of the 51 seats in the politically important AMC which has put up a big challenge to both the ruling BJP and the key opposition CPI-M led Left parties.

However, the Left parties and the TMC did not put up candidates in all the 334 seats in the civic elections to the AMC and 19 other urban local bodies - Municipal Councils and Nagar Panchayats -- alleging unprecedented political violence, attacks and intimidations.

TMC's National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee in a series of tweets described the party's performance in the Tripura civic poll as their big success ahead of the 2023 assembly elections in the BJP-ruled Tripura.
