GUWAHATI
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday claimed the BJP would win at least five seats more in the February 16 Tripura elections than in 2018.
The BJP had won 36 of the 60 Assembly seats in Tripura five years ago.
Mr. Sarma attributed his confidence to the “reign of peace” during the BJP-led alliance government compared to the “atmosphere of fear” under the Left Front government five years ago.
“The people want this peaceful atmosphere to continue,” he told journalists in Agartala after accompanying his Tripura counterpart, Manik Saha, who filed his nomination papers for the Town Bordowali Assembly constituency.
Mr. Saha was the BJP’s Rajya Sabha member before he replaced the controversial Biplab Kumar Deb as the Chief Minister in February 2022.
The Assam Chief Minister said the BJP continued with its pre-poll arrangement with the Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura for the sake of the State’s unity and development.
