NewDelhi: A clear election trend has now started emerging. The BJP is leading in Tripura, with CPM trailing. In Meghalaya, Congress is leading while in Nagaland, NPF is ahead. The BJP will form the government in all three states, said Kiren Rijiju, MoS Home, on Saturday with counting underway in three northeast states of Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland. “The results will change the political landscape of northeast. It will also have its bearing on the national scene,” he said while referring to Lok Sabha 2019 elections.
The counting of votes began on Saturday morning in the three Assembly constituencies of North East – Nagaland, Meghalaya and Tripura. Counting was held for 59 of the 60 seats in all the three states.
The Bharatiya Janata Party or BJP is trying to gain a strong foothold in all the three states. At present, it is in power or is part of the ruling coalition in five of the eight states in the region.
In Tripura, the chief contest is between BJP and CPI(M)-led Left Front. In Meghalaya, it’s a four-cornered contest between Congress, National People’s Party or NPP, BJP and the United Democratic Party (UDP)- Hill State People’s Democratic Party (HSPDP). In Nagaland, the contest is between Naga People’s Front (NPF) and BJP-Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) alliance.
