Riding the crest of a `Modi wave`, the BJP on Saturday demolished the communist citadel of Tripura, winning a two-third majority with ally IPFT.

Latest Updates

  • Janata Dal (United) Nagaland has decided to support the BJP in the formation of a stable govt in Nagaland.

    This decision is taken after a serious consideration of the current verdict of the just-declared results of the conducted general election to the 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly and also to safeguard the interest of the National Democratic Alliance in Delhi, says JD(U) Nagaland.

  • Meghalaya:

  • We're extremely happy. We contested on 20 seats and have won 11 seats. CPI used goondaism and got rejected by people, we have only used democratic methods to contest this election. Congress is not relevant in Tripura and Nagaland, says BJP's Ram Madhav on Northeast election results.

  • BJP's polling agent didn't sign on controlling unit, didn't follow procedure and are now demanding re-polling. Met Chief Election Commissioner and he's assured he'll intervene and take action, says Sitaram Yechury on the counting of votes stopped in Manik Sarkar's constituency Dhanpur.

  • I once again thank the people of Northeast. I do what I say. We will make sure that there is development in the region, says PM Modi.

  • PM Modi heaps praise on Amit Shah. I have seen him since school days. It gives me immense pleasure to see him achieve such success, says PM.

    On the other hand, the stature of the Congress party was never so low. However, the BJP has to be careful, so that the Congress culture does not seep into it, adds PM.

  • People spreading rumours and confusion were given the best reply democratically, says PM. 

  • Be it Kerala, Bengal or Karnataka, the way two dozen workers were murdered there. Still, we maintained silence. When we take action they cry vendetta. This isn't vendetta but a step for the betterment of the nation, says PM.

  • Ministers of the Central government regularly visited the Northeastern states, says PM Modi.

    He again talks about BJP workers who were 'killed' in Tripura and other states. 

  • A common misconception is that you have to be flashy to script a win like this, points out PM Modi.

  • I do not have the figures but I think the elected team in Tripura is the youngest ever team. Such young candidates successfully won people's confidence, says PM.

  • There was no celebrity used in this election, this victory has been achieved with limited resources, says PM Modi.

  • Northeast people always felt that Delhi is far away from them, BJP has brought Delhi to their doorsteps, says PM.

  • Though I have not made a house, so I don't know much, but in Vastu Shastra, it is said that Northeast of a house is at the centre. Things are organised keeping Northeast in mind. Similarly, our Northeast will lead the country’s development journey, says PM.

  • I am thankful to the voters of Northeast, It must be difficult to accept new govt and leaving the old rule behind. They must have gone through so much difficulty, so much that their anger vented out through voting, says PM Modi. 

  • The Northeast has today come forward to lead India on the path to development, emphasises PM Narendra Modi.

  • Election analysts in India will have to understand the journey from 'no one to one', from zero to peak. When the sun sets it is red in colour and when it rises it is saffron, says PM Modi.

  • The killings of our workers have been answered by the public of Tripura through their vote, says PM.

    This is the strength of a democracy that the poorest of the poor have replied the wound that they received with vote, he adds. 

     

  • I was surprised to see the reactions of Left leaders today. They talk about democracy but when they lose, they don't take it well, says PM Modi.

  • Winning and losing is a part of democracy. If one loses then one should accept defeat with sportsman spirit, says PM.

  • PM Modi remembers BJP workers who were killed in the Northeastern states. He asks everyone to stand for 2 minutes in silence for the departed souls.

  • PM Modi begins his speech with Bharat Mata ki Jai chant.

    Party workers chant - 'Modi, Modi'.

  • PM Modi pauses before beginning his addresses because of Azaan nearby that could be heard at BJP office.  

  • PM Modi addresses party workers at BJP headquarters in New Delhi.

  • BJP is celebrating its first victory in the new headquarters, says Shah to party workers.

    I would like to tell PM Modi that the path he is treading upon, 11 crore members are standing behind him on that path. You go ahead, we will get an even bigger mandate in 2019 General elections, says Amit Shah.

  • Northeast has accepted PM Narendra Modi's 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' slogan, says Shah. 

  • This vijay rath of BJP will now go to Karnataka, says BJP president Amit Shah at BJP headquarters in New Delhi.

  • BJP-IPFT combine wins majority in Tripura by securing 30 seats. Alliance ahead in 13 other seats, says EC.

  • Final party position for Meghalaya Assembly election (total seats 59):

    Congress 21, NPP 19, UDP 6, PDF 4, BJP 2, HSPDP 2, KHNAM 1, NCP 1 and IND 3.

  • PM Modi too tweeted a short while ago.

    "2018 Tripura election will be remembered as an epoch-making one. What my sisters and brothers of Tripura have done is extraordinary. The historic victory in Tripura is as much an ideological one. It is a win for democracy over brute force and intimidation. Today peace and non-violence has prevailed over fear," he said.

  • Before addressing the press conference, the BJP president had tweeted:

  • The BJP's golden period will come when we form governments in Karnataka, West Bengal, Odisha and Kerala, says Amit Shah.

    Victory after victory is a positive sign. This has boosted our confidence even more for 2019, he adds.

  • Even if we don't count Meghalaya, BJP and NDA has governance in 21 states across the nation today. Mandate after mandate has been in the favor of Narendra Modi ji and his government, says Shah.

  • In Tripura BJP and allies won all 20 tribal seats, Shah emphasises.

  • Earlier, it was believed that BJP is restricted to the Hindi belt. Today's results have shown that the claim is not true, says Amit Shah. 

  • It has been proved that Left (parties) is not right for any part of the country. Nobody likes the Left, says Shah. 

  • Northeast results are an indicator of things to come in 2019, points out BJP chief.  

  • We will march towards Karnataka, with this massive victory with us, says Shah.

  • BJP might have a clear majority in Tripura but we will also include other members of our alliance in the cabinet, says Shah.

  • People of Northeast have accepted the developmental policy of PM Modi, says BJP president.

  • BJP chief Amit Shah addresses the press. He says, It’s a proud moment for all of us. I want to thank the people of Meghalaya, Tripura and Nagaland for reposing their faith in PM Modi.

  • In 2014 Narendra Modi ji had said western side of the nation has developed a lot but the same has not reached the eastern side yet. He immediately started his 'Act East Policy'. I believe this is the victory of his policies, stamped by the 3 states of the Northeast, says BJP chief Amit Shah.

    Today is a happy day for BJP workers like me, he adds.

  • Polit Bureau thanks the 45% of the voters who extended support to CPI(M) & Left Front. We assure the people of Tripura that it will continue to champion the cause of all sections of the working people & uphold tribal-non tribal unity: CPI 

  • The verdict of the people of Tripura will lead to the formation of a BJP-IPFT alliance govt in the state. After 25 yrs in government, the Left front has been voted out of office: Communist Party of India (Marxist).

     

  • "I don't want to comment anything on this issue. Decision will be taken by the party," said Biplab Kumar Deb, BJP state president Tripura on if he will be made the Chief Minister.
