Vote Division Fuels BJP Triumph in Tripura: A Tribal Council Perspective

Purna Chandra Jamatia, the chief executive member of Tripura's TTAADC, attributes the BJP's 2023 Assembly election success to strategic vote division. Though aligned with the BJP, his Tipra Motha Party fielded candidates in numerous seats, leading to key electoral split outcomes. Apparently, the BJP's dreams may truncate in upcoming local elections.

Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) leader Purna Chandra Jamatia has identified vote division as a key factor in the BJP's victory in the 2023 Assembly elections.

Despite being in alliance with the BJP, Jamatia's Tipra Motha Party (TMP) ran candidates in both ST and non-ST constituencies, thereby impacting the opposition's vote share.

Jamatia expressed skepticism about the BJP's future prospects in the face of Tipra Motha's expanding influence, especially with upcoming TTAADC elections and recent party defections.
