Tripura was voted on February 18, while Nagaland and Meghalaya were voted on 27 February. In these three states, there are 60-60 seats in the Assembly, but for any reason, in all the three voting was held in 59-59 seats. In the forecast till now, in all the three states, this time the BJP has the full potential of counter-attacking. In Tripura, BJP has seen a lot of power over the ruling Left Front government for the past 25 years. It would be interesting to see if the BJP has been successful in eliminating the continuing communist rule in power for 25 years.
