BJP used money,other resources to win Tripura polls: CPI-M
New Delhi, Mar 3 (IBNS): Communist Party of India (Marxist) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury on Saturday charged that the BJP used money to win the Assembly polls in Tripura.
Ending 25 years of Left Front rule in Tripura, the BJP won the assembly polls in the state on Saturday.
The BJP clinched 43 seats in the state as it defeated CM Manik Sarkar-led Left Front rule in Tripura.
"The BJP has, apart from other factors, utilized massive deployment of money and other resources to influence the elections. The BJP was able to consolidate all the anti-Left votes virtually appropriating the erstwhile main opposition party, the Congress," Yechury said in a statement.
Thanking people who voted in favour of the party, Yechury said: " The Polit Bureau thanks the 45 per cent of the voters who extended support to the CPI(M) and the Left Front. The Party will carefully examine the reasons for this electoral setback and take necessary remedial measures."
"The CPI(M) assures the people of Tripura that it will continue to champion the cause of all sections of the working people and uphold tribal-non tribal unity," read the statement.
Poll results of Meghalaya and Nagaland were also declared on Saturday.
