Manik Saha won because of large-scale rigging, says Tripura LoP Manik Sarkar 

Agartala: Tripura Leader of opposition Manik Sarkar on Monday alleged that Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha won the elections banking on large-scale rigging and proxy voting in his constituency. The results of the elections could not be considered as the people’s expression towards the ruling party because the voters were not allowed to cast their votes free of any intimidation, he added. 

Speaking to the media on the sidelines of his visit to violence-affected families, Sarkar said, “What is happening today in the state is before everyone. Whom should we approach with our grievances as the person holding the post of Chief Minister himself won the elections due to mass-scale forged voting?”

Sarkar lamented that the voters had been threatened, terrified and attacked at the first place during elections and, after the BJP’s victory, once again the general people are at the receiving end of violence.
