At the same time, the main opposition party opposed the bandh called by a little-known political outfit- Tripura Pragatishil Gramin Congress (TPGC) saying that it is not going to make any impact on the malpractice.

Another opposition party- Trinamool Congress also opposed the bandh in protest against the malpractice at a polling station in Bishalgarh subdivision. “ We will not support the bandh called by TPGC and the party will accept the verdict of the voters with holding hand”, said party Chairman Ratan Chakraborty.
