This is a completely unexpected result: Manik Sarkar
Agartala, Mar 5 (IBNS): Outgoing Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has said that BJP's performance in the Assembly polls in the state was 'completely unexpected'.
"This is a completely unexpected result. But you see, just results were published yesterday night. So now we are collecting all information from different corners of the state," Sarkar told NDTV.
" We were not prepared for such a result," he told the news channel.
Left Front's 25 years rule in Tripura was ended on Saturday when the BJP clinched 43 seats in the Assembly polls.
In the 60-seat Assembly, Left were left clinching only 16 seats.
In 2013, BJP did not win a single seat in the Assembly polls.
Sarkar on Sunday handed his resignation to Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy.
With defeat in Tripura, Left is currently ruling just one state in India-Kerala.
