    Results

    BJP increased its vote-share from 1.5% in 2013 to 42.8%

    In Tripura, the BJP-IPFT combine won 43 seats together (35+8). The saffron party increased its vote-share from a paltry 1.5% in 2013 to a whopping 42.8% this time.

    The CPI(M) managed to bag 16 seats in the 60-member assembly.

    Amit Shah said later, "Left is not right for any part of India."

    However, CPI(M)'s vote-share declined only marginally, from 48.11% (2013) to 42.7% (2018).
