AGARTALA, March 17 (TIWN): Reacting to media questions about whether the vote-division among opposition parties, helped BJP to retain power or not, Tipra Motha supremo Pradyot Manikya claimed if Tipra Motha was not in the battle BJP could win 50 seats. He stated, “Whether anyone agrees or not but survey shows in Tripura and West Bengal majority of Hindu Bengalis voted for BJP, Muslims for Mamata and here CPM and STs voted for our party. Even media survey shows that. Why could Jitendra Chowdhury win the Election as there was no Tipra Motha candidate there. I would say, if Tipra Motha did not fill the candidate there, then BJP would have won with 50 seats”.
