Agartala (Tripura): The ruling BJP has swept the civic body elections in Tripura by winning all the seats of the 51-member Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC). The opposition TMC and CPI(M) failed to open their account in the AMC, informed State Election Commission
BJP has won from 29 wards out of 51 wards bagging majority in Agartala Municipal Corporation, as per State Election Commission.
The counting of votes for over 200 seats in the Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) and Nagar Panchayats elections is underway.
The voting took place on November 25 amid poll-related violence.
According to the Election Commission of India, the voter turnout was over 81 per cent.
Here is who said what:
The TMC should not lose hope with this initial setback in Tripura. There are many other setbacks in Goa, Haryana and other states that are still to come before we can let them start losing hope.

BJP winning every single ward. TMC at 0.
Seems people of Tripura rejected imperialist attempt by outsiders sent by Bengal CM.
