AGARTALA, Aug 19 (TIWN): With the aim to rejuvenate its party ahead of Tripura 2018 Assembly election BJP on Friday organised state committee meeting at Nazrul Kalakshetra.

The meeting discussed how to strengthen its party ahead of 2018 Tripura Assembly election. However, the meeting was organised to rejuvenate the work progress of the committee.

It is to be mentioned here that although slowly and gradually, but BJP is emerging as a major threat to the state opposition party Congress in Tripura’s political scenario.  The situation can be better explained with the situation where BJP is the recently held bi-election to Amarpur assembly constituency and village polls where BJP gave a serious competition to congress and occupied the second position in the bi-election run.

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 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.
