Poll results: BJP drubs Left in Tripura, gets call to join govt in Nagaland

BJP ally, Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT), won seven seats and was leading in one

Continuing its winning streak, the BJP on Saturday wrested Tripura, the last Left bastion, and received invitation to be part of the government in Nagaland, while Meghalaya elected a hung Assembly.

The BJP, which was hitherto a marginal player in Tripura politics, having failed to clinch even a single seat in the state in the last polls, has already won a majority on its own, pocketing 32 seats in the 60-member Assembly. It was leading in three more seats.

Elections were held in 59 seats in all three states due to different reasons despite them having 60-member assemblies.
