BJP got 3 out of 4 seats, CM Manik Saha won from Bardowali
Tripura Chief Minister and BJP leader Manik Saha won the assembly election from Town Bardowali constituency by a margin of 6,104 votes, the Election Commission said. In Tripura by-polls too, BJP won three out of four seats, while Congress candidate from Agartala seat Sudip Roy Burman won by 3,163 votes.
BJP won from Town Bordowali, Jubarajnagar and Soorma seats. The bypolls in Tripura were crucial for Manik Saha, who had replaced Biplab Kumar Deb last month. The dentist-turned-politician himself was a candidate and contested his first direct election to save his CM seat.
Saha was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tripura on 15 May. The BJP decided to change leadership in the state a year before the assembly elections and replaced Biplab Kumar Deb with Saha as the chief minister.
After Manik Saha was sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Tripura, the BJP has once again turned to its old mantra of defeating the anti-incumbency wave in the electoral state by changing its face. Saha left the Congress and joined the BJP in 2016. He was made the party chief in 2020 and was elected to the Rajya Sabha in March this year.
Notably, bypolls to these seats were necessitated by the resignation of MLAs in two seats, the disqualification of an MLA in one and the mid-term death of an MLA.
