AGARTALA: Two statues of Lenin have been pulled down in the last 24 hours by mobs in Tripura where the Left Front suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of BJP and its ally the Indigenous People s Front of Tripura (IPFT) in the assembly elections. On Tuesday a statue of the Communist icon was razed to the ground at Sabroom on the southernmost tip of the state bordering Bangladesh while on Monday a mob demolished a statue of Lenin using an excavator at Belonia. Both Sabroom and Belonia fall in South Tripura district. Coming within two days of BJP demolishing the CPM citadel the Lenin statues were targeted amid growing attacks on Left Front supporters allegedly by BJP and IPFT activists. The statue at Belonia was unveiled by former CPM general secretary Prakash Karat only a few months ago. While the driver of the excavator used to demolish the statue in Belonia has been arrested police said they were in the process of identifying other attackers. Meanwhile BJP described the demolition of statues as an outburst of people s anger . Concerned over the violence Union home minister Rajnath Singh asked Tripura governor Tathagata Roy and state DGP A K Shukla to ensure peace and tranquillity until the new BJP-IPFT government takes charge. What added more to BJP and Centre s discomfiture were the tweets from Roy and BJP general secretary Ram Madhav that many construed as being supportive of the demolition of the statues. The governor had tweeted that anything done by a democratically elected government can be undone by a new government . Madhav s tweet which was later deleted referred to the slogan for change which BJP had given during the campaign: People taking down Lenin s statue not in Russia; it is in Tripura. Chalo Paltai . In a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday the CPM politburo asked for his immediate intervention to end the violence in Tripura. The party also announced countrywide coordinated protests against the state government. It said 514 Marxist cadres have been injured and 1 539 houses attacked. It added that 196 houses of party workers have been set ablaze and 134 CPM offices attacked. The memorandum claimed that 208 CPM offices have been captured by attackers. Police spokesperson Pradip De said there were no reports of disturbance on Tuesday. Talking about the demolition in Belonia he said The statue had been installed with the approval of the local municipality so pulling it down is a crime. The matter is still under investigation. It could be an act of miscreants.

The BJP secured 35 seats in the 60-member Assembly while its ally IPFT a tribal-based party won eight seats. The BJP has warned its leaders and supporters of stern action if they are found to be involved in post-poll violence in Tripura. Here are the top 10 developments around the cases of post-poll violence in Tripura: 1. BJP scored ideological victory in Tripura: Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday termed the BJP s performance in Tripura an ideological victory and said the message should be spread across the country to maintain its winning streak. Modi was addressing a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Parliamentary Party meeting where he was felicitated by the party leaders amid chants of Jeet Hamari Jaari Hai Ab Karnataka Ki Baari Hai (our winning streak continues now it is Karnataka s turn). The party s victory in Tripura is the victory of BJP s ideology because it was the citadel of Left since the last 25 years. We will have to maintain this winning streak by working hard Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar quoted Modi as having said in the meeting. 2. The CPI(M) charged the BJP with unleashing a reign of terror on Left workers in Tripura and sought the immediate intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in bringing the violence to an end before the situation worsened . In a memorandum to the prime minister the party claimed the BJP had begun attacking Left supporters in the northeastern state immediately after the results of the Assembly polls were declared. We request your immediate intervention to stop these attacks and violence and to maintain peace and normalcy in the state before the situation worsened it said in the memorandum addressed to the prime minister. 3. Mamata slams BJP for razing Lenin statute Sounding a warning to the Bharatiya Janata Party which has taken power in Tripura the Trinamool Congress chief said she would not accept such activities despite having a ideological fight with the Communist Party of India-Marxist. If you feel just because you have come to power you will demolish the statue of Marx Lenin Gandhiji Netaji Swami Vivekananda we won t accept that. I have fought with the CPI-M. We also came to power after 34 years. Please remember our slogan was we want change not revenge . So despite the CPI-M carrying out so much atrocities on us we did not pay them back in the same coin. This is not our nature. Whatever is happening there (Tripura) is not democracy. 4) Swamy defends pulling down of terrorist Lenin s statue in Tripura On Monday a statue of Left icon and Communist leader Vladimir Lenin was also demolished at Belonia town in South Tripura with the help of a bulldozer.

The West Bengal BJP today said the party will effect a change in Bengal much like it did in Tripura where it scripted history by ending 25 years of uninterrupted rule of the CPI(M)-led Left Front. When some BJP supporters were killed in Tripura people changed the mandate in that state. In Bengal many more of our supporters have been killed and injured and their properties destroyed. BJP will bring a similar change in this state West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh told a press conference here. Ghosh said nepotism corruption and political violence is rampant in the state and there is no place for violence in politics. The West Bengal BJP president was addressing party workers in Aamtala in South 24 Parganas district. The BJP-IPFT combine yesterday won the Tripura Assembly polls with two-third majority. The BJP and the Indigenous People s Front of Tripura won 43 seats. The CPI(M) won 16 seats and the Congress none. The elections in 59 seats in the 60-member Assembly were held on February 18.
Kolkata: Following the BJP s historic win in the Tripura assembly elections the party s West Bengal unit on Saturday said this will surely impact state politics and predicted a sea change in Bengal s political scenario in six months. It is the people who have brought about the change in Tripura. They will bring about the change in Bengal too. We are trying to build our party organisation here as per their hopes and aspirations. We have full support from our national leadership. I think there will be a sea change in Bengal within six months state Bharatiya Janata Party President Dilip Ghosh said here.He also attacked Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee for her statement earlier that she would be happy if the CPI-M wins the Tripura elections. It is true that the CPI-M has lost in Tripura. But I am sure Mamata Banerjee is more grieved than they are with the result Mr Ghosh said. This is the tragedy of Bengal politics. The Communist Party of India-Marxist and the Congress -- who caused a great loss to Bengal over the years -- joined hands here in the last Assembly elections but the people rejected them. However Banerjee is providing them oxygen. She is trying to save the CPI-M. But her attempts will be of no avail he said.Echoing Mr Ghosh Bengal BJP leader Mukul Roy who earlier left the ruling party said the Tripura results will have an impact on Bengal politics and took a swipe at Ms Banerjee for supporting the CPI-M. The political party that got just two per cent vote last year in Tripura has come up to a position to form the government there. I am sure this result will impact Bengal too Mr Roy said. Mamata Banerjee on Friday said she would be happy if the CPI-M wins in Tripura. So I think she should take some responsibility for CPI-M s defeat he added.However ruling Trinamool Congress termed the election result in Tripura as more of a defeat of CPI-M s pride than a victory of BJP s organisational strength and claimed the results will have no impact in Bengal. This is CPI-M s defeat. The anger of the people of Tripura towards the CPI-M has been reflected through ballot.But those who are celebrating BJP s success in Tripura do not need to be too enthusiastic about it in Bengal Trinamool Congress Secretary General Partha Chatterjee said.He also blamed the CPI-M for not trying to stop the BJP in Tripura. CommentsClose X The CPI-M has been silent on the way the BJP used their resource and force in Tripura. They never realised that to fight the BJP they would need the support of all anti-BJP forces he added.The BJP and ally IPFT were ahead in 39 of the 59 Assembly seats in Tripura and look set to form the government.
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked his party MPs not to treat the impressive victory in Tripura elections as a minor one just because the state is spread over a small geographical area in the Northeast and does not have a big population. Speaking to BJP lawmakers at the weekly Parliamentary Party meeting on Tuesday Modi according to party sources said The victory in Tripura is historic and we should not undermine it just because our opponents are saying it is a small state in a distant part of the country. Modi was given a standing ovation at the meeting by all party MPs. Some members shouted: Jeet Hamari Jaari hai ab Karnataka ki baari hai . BJP chief Amit Shah and Union home minister Rajnath Singh were away in Meghalaya for the swearing -in of the Conrad Sangma government. Sources said Modi underlined that Tripura is an integral part of India and no state of the country should be treat as unimportant by the BJP. This is also an ideological victory (over the Left parties) and is very significant. We should highlight this issue politically a BJP MP said quoting the PM. Modi also emphasised that the party needs to have an emotional connect with the Northeast states. When one BJP candidate won the Assembly seat in Kerala it had energised the party. Tripura victory has changed the mood of the party and the nation the PM said. Union minister Mansukhbhai Mandavia made a presentation at the meeting where he dwelt on the significant points of the Budget especially in the field of agriculture industry labour health commerce and so on. He said the Budget is another step in the direction of building a New India. Modi asked all party MPs to take the message from the Budget to the masses. Shah has invited all BJP MPs for a dinner at the newly built party headquarters here. It will held on a Friday when the PM senior party leaders and ministers will be in Delhi for the Parliament session.
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday dubbed the BJP s win over the Left in Tripura a victory of ideology and said the party needs to work hard to maintain its winning electoral streak Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar told reporters.

According to party leaders at the meeting Modi referred to comments from some critics that Tripura was a small state with only two Lok Sabha seats and underlined the significance of the BJP s win. He said the state had long been yearning for change and people embraced it by ousting the Left which was in power for over 25 years. The http://ttlink.com/kfckk BJP won only one assembly seat in Kerala before it went on to trounce the Left in its bastion of Tripura the prime minister said. Tripura was considered a bastion of Marxism for the last 25 years. This is an ideological victory party leaders quoted Modi as saying. The Left s politics was underpinned by violence and hate he said adding that people have rejected it everywhere. It is finished across the world and is on the verge of oblivion in India as it is now in power only in Kerala Kumar said quoting Modi. All three states are very important the prime minister said referring to Tripura Meghalaya and Nagaland adding that the central government will give priority to their development. For development all states are equal he said. An alliance of several parties including the BJP was sworn in Meghalaya today and Modi extended his greetings to new Chief Minister Conrad Sangma.

The prime minister asserted that the party should endeavour to live up to people s expectations as it rejoices in its electoral win and asked MPs to take to the masses details of the Union Budget that was aimed at building a new India. Modi also paid tribute to nine BJP workers who were killed in alleged political violence in Tripura during the run up to the state polls.
