Regarding the reasons behind BJP’s victory in Tripura, he said, “The people of Tripura insecure under the Left rule. The Manik Sarkar government has failed to solve the unemployment problem of Tripura. People want peace, security and development and so they have reposed their trust on the BJP. We have successfully established that we are a party with a difference.”
Sonowal said the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leadership of BJP President Amit Shah were the major factors behind the victory.

Senior party leader and Guwahati MP Bijoya Chakraborty said with this result, BJP has gone another step ahead in achieving its goal of ‘Congress-mukt Bharat.’
“Now, we are in power in 20 states in the country. With this result, we are one step closer towards achieving the goal of ‘Congress-mukt Bharat.’ Nobody really thought that we can topple the left government in Tripura. But today we are in power there by bagging over 40 seats” added the former union minister.
