Poll Results LIVE: Hung Assembly in Meghalaya, Cong single largest party

The Northeast Assembly election results 2018 in Tripura, Nagaland, and Meghalaya are important for the BJP, Congress, CPI-M-led Left Front, and the Naga People's Front

BJP supporters wave party flag to celebrate BJP's win, which brought down 25 years of CPI-M government rule, after Tripura Assembly election results were announced in Agartala

Northeast Assembly Election Results 2018: The counting of votes is underway on Saturday for Tripura assembly election results 2018, Nagaland assembly election results 2018 and Meghalaya assembly election results 2018, respectively.

Putting up a spectacular show, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ally, the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT), were headed for a landslide electoral victory in Tripura assembly elections, ousting the CPI-M-lead Left Front that was in power in the state for the last 25 years. State President Biplab Kumar Deb is likely to be the chief minister.

Even in Nagaland assembly elections, Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP), which has an alliance with BJP, is giving tough competition to ruling party Naga People's Front (NPF). If NDPP fails to reach the half-way mark, BJP may have an "understanding" with the ruling NPF to form a new government of the three parties in the state.

Congress’ only hope to consolidate its position seems to be Meghalaya assembly elections as it close to reaching the half-way mark.

Polling was held for 59 of 60 Assembly seats in each of the three states for different reasons. Tripura Assembly elections 2018 were held on February 18. A party requires 31 seats to win.

Tripura result will significantly impact Bengal politics: BJP

Following the BJP's historic win in the Tripura assembly elections, the party's West Bengal unit on Saturday said this will surely impact state politics and predicted a "sea change" in Bengal's political scenario in six months.

"It is the people who have brought about the change in Tripura. They will bring about the change in Bengal too. We are trying to build our party organisation here as per their hopes and aspirations. We have full support from our national leadership. I think there will be a sea change in Bengal within six months," state Bharatiya Janata Party President Dilip Ghosh said here.

He also attacked Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee for her statement earlier that she would be happy if the CPI-M wins the Tripura elections.

"It is true that the CPI-M has lost in Tripura. But I am sure Mamata Banerjee is more grieved than they are, with the result," Ghosh said. (More details)

"BJP has, apart from other factors, utilised massive deployment of money and other resources to influence the elections. BJP was able to consolidate all the anti-Left votes virtually appropriating the erstwhile main opposition, Congress," the CPI(M) said in a statement.

CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said, "We will conduct a proper analysis on the basis of the detailed result, once that comes out. Whatever shortcomings weaknesses that are there, the steps that need to be taken, will be taken."
