AGARTALA, June 17 (TIWN): Arriving on a one day visit in the state on Friday, Union Minister Anant Geete pitched his voice high over winning in Tripura in the upcoming 2018 Assembly Election.

During delivering speeches at Udaipur, Gomtati Tripura BJP leaders claimed that the party will win massively in this coming election 2018 and CPI-M’s defeat is must.

He also appreciated the central Govt.’s achievement in this two years and its special focus for North east which has been one of the main target of the Govt. “Tripura Govt. can bring massive development in state if it could utilize the schemes of Modi Govt. But the govt.’s rebel attitude towards BJP and it’s negligence attitude into developmental issues could not uplift Tripura till now”, Union Minister Anant Geete said.

Although slowly and gradually, but BJP is emerging as a major threat to the state opposition party Congress in Tripura’s political scenario.

Silently but steadily the BJP is emerging as a major threat to the CPI-M  in Tripura's electoral politics. Nothing illustrates this better than the polling percentage achieved by the BJP in the just-concluded Amarpur bi-polls.

After its best performance so far in the recently conducted Tripura bi-polls, BJP now threatens to the ruling party in the state. The saffron party has secured second position in its share in the polls, it’s best ever in Tripura.

The recent developments in the state’s political scenario has widened up the options of various political parties in the state. The most significant of all is the rise in popularity of the rightist party BJP in the tribal belt of the state where the party became the second choice of voters in the recently concluded bi-election. The vote share in comparison to the other political parties may not be that significant but the surcharge in the vote percentage compared to its previous performance is giving boost to the party think tanks here.

The party has been able to make a mark in the hearts of the educated class of the state as a potential alternative of the main opposition Congress which is waiting its complete white wash from the state politics, thinks political analysts here.

Majority of the opposition voters are losing confidence in the Congress party and the alleged understanding of the party top bosses at the central level with the left parties is further giving fuel to the process.
