Tripura awaits outcome of Assembly polls

March 01, 2018 11:40

Political parties in Tripura are keeping their fingers crossed on the outcome of the recently held Assembly elections in the state as exit polls have failed to present a clear picture.

Elections for 59 seats in Tripura's 60-member House were held on February 18 and the results will be declared on March 3. Polling in one Assembly seat has been postponed to March 12, following the death of a CPI(M) candidate.

A national TV channel NewsX has predicted victory for the BJP alliance, ending 25-year run of the Left Front in the state. The TV channel gave the BJP alliance 35-45 seats and said the Left Front will bag 14-23 seats while one seat will be won by others. -- PTI
