Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is anticipated to address BJP members and supporters on Thursday as the BJP looks poised to retain power in Tripura on its own as well as with its top ally Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) in Nagaland.
According to reports, prominent party leaders will likely congratulate Modi on the victory at the party’s headquarters in Delhi.
According to the most recent Election Commission of India (ECI) numbers for the elections to the 60-member assembly, the BJP’s total of seats it has either won or is leading remained at 33 in Tripura.
The matching total for the party and its ally is 36 in Nagaland.
Its victory in Tripura is noteworthy because the Left and the Congress had united to oppose it and TIPRA Motha led by Pradyot Debbarma had weakened its support among the tribal people. However, the BP did continue to have widespread support.
