AGARTALA, Sep 27 (TIWN): Not 230, but only 23 Voters joined BJP leaving IPFT, Tipra Motha and for that BJP had to organize a grand welcoming program at State Headquarters in Krishna Nagar.

Nevertheless, BJP would say it values each kariyakarta but it can't avoid the fact that getting 23 voters from 7 families have not been easy for BJP as ST vote banks are fully occupied by Tipra Motha party yet.

BJP's ally IPFT also has left with skeleton structure that has weakened the party in ADC.
