“Tripura has once again demonstrated its commitment of conducting free, fair, and peaceful elections,” he said, adding that there has been a larger participation of voters on Friday in East Tripura Parliamentary Constituency, who came out of their house amid the scorching heat of the sun to cast their vote.

Responding to the queries regarding vote boycott by over 1000 villagers at Gandacherra, the BJP state president said, “Soon after receiving the information we took the matter with the concerned ARO and Returning Officer. But, if some people have tried to create an odd atmosphere by boycotting the election, where at least 80% voting turnout was recorded, the matter will be enquired in detail in the later course of time.”
