Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) is gaining momentum day by day in Left dominated Tripura with hundreds of new corners joining the party every week. Since the Panchayat election BJP has been setting its footmarks in different parts of the state especially in the villages and towns. At present even a huge section of the grass root workers of CPI (M) and Congress has started to accept BJP as a platform for raising their voice of protest against the miss rule of CPI (M).

The Left Front for having their orthodox mentality and they haven’t served the common people. The uninterrupted 22 ­year stint in power seems to have taken a toll on the financial transparency of the Left Front administration in Tripura. Corruption in implementation of rural development schemes continues unabated, the source alleged.
