While we are naturally delighted about the historic victory in Tripura, we will always have in our thoughts and prayers the BJP Karyakartas who lost their lives due to mindless Communist violence. It is due to their courage that the party has reached where it has today.
Narendra Modi

Congress party will be virtually left with only one CM in Puducherry in the country after they will be defeated in Karnataka in June 2018. In any case, Congress party doesn’t treat Punjab CM as their own, nor does Capt. Amrinder Singh treat Congress as his own.
PM Narendra Modi
19:15 (IST) Mar 03
We're extremely happy. We contested on 20 seats and have won 11 seats. CPI used goondaism & got rejected by people, we have only used democratic methods to contest this election. Congress is not relevant in Tripura and Nagaland
