Following their resounding victories in the by-elections held on September 05 in Tripura's Dhanpur and Boxanagar Assembly constituencies, BJP candidates have expressed their belief that the people of these two constituencies have rejected the CPIM, and they predict the party's imminent decline in the state.
After the completion of the counting process, BJP's Tafajjal Hossain emerged victorious in Boxanagar with 34,146 votes, while Mizan Hossain of CPI(M) received 3,909 votes in the same constituency.
In Dhanpur, BJP candidate Bindu Debnath secured victory with 30,017 votes, while Kaushik Chanda of CPI(M) received 11,146 votes.
After winning the election, Tafajjal Hossain stated that the results reflect the frustration of the people who had been misled for the past 25 years.
"In the 2023 Assembly election in Boxanagar, I was on the verge of winning, but certain individuals confused the straightforward voters of the constituency. However, the people have now recognized this and have given a clear mandate to the BJP. This is a reprisal for the past 25 years during which CPIM deceived the voters. In the days to come, CPIM will fade away from this state. The voters of Boxanagar have made history by removing CPIM from this assembly," he said.
Bindu Debnath also claimed that CPIM was well aware of their impending defeat as they had already lost their support base.
"CPIM is accustomed to conducting conferences within air-conditioned rooms and will make allegations because they were already aware of their impending defeat in this election. CPIM has lost ground and people have lost faith in them. Both voters and CPIM workers in Dhanpur have rejected them. People have spurned them, and many of their members have joined the BJP. Even during the campaign, individuals from outside the constituency came to campaign for CPIM," he added.
