BJP sweeps Tripura civic polls, bags 329 of 334 seats; TMC claims ‘gains’

A BJP landslide buried the opposition in the Tripura civic polls on Sunday, with 329 out of the 334 seats at stake in 13 urban local bodies going to the saffron party in a poll that both Trinamool Congress and CPM termed “murder of democracy”. While BJP grabbed the lion's share of votes overall with 59%, TMC emerged as the strongest opposition party in the seats it contested with a 24% vote share.
