Dethroned and Decimated Communists and Congress in North East Assembly Elections 2018

The BJP’s historic performance in defeating CPI- M was a herculean task of ‘From Zero to Hero’ achievement – impossible becoming possible. Red Rule of 25 years in Tirupura of which 20 years of continuous Rule was of Manik Sarkar – so called Poor Chief Minister - had come to an end in the most dramatic and tragic manner by the Surge of Saffron Party. The crisp’s comment of Amit Shah – Left is not right for any part of India – echoes the reality of majority of Voters’ mood and preferences. 

In 2013 Tirupura assembly election of 60 seats, CPI M secured 50 seats with 50% vote share, Congress 10 seats with 35% vote share and BJP Zero with around 2% vote share. In 2018 Tirupura election, CPI- M got only 16 seats with vote share of 43%, Congress Zero with below 2 % vote share, while BJP + got  43 seats with vote share of around 50%.  BJP + achievement had pushed Congress into oblivion – almost achieving BJP’s aim of ‘Congress Mukt north east’ and Communists into major unprecedented historic fatal defeat – blow that CPI M can never forget. Tirupura’s 33% tribal population had solidly voted for BJP + IPFT (Indigenous People’s Front of Twipra) Combo – with Election Battle Cry of ‘Chalo Paltai’ – (Let us Change) and the IPFT, whose 17 candidates lost their deposits in the previous election, had won 8 out of 9 seats it contested now in 2018 – BJP’s strategy to make IPFT to accept ‘One Tirupura’ instead of a separate State for the present had also helped to get the votes of majority of Bengali population as well.

Among the factors that worked in favour of the BJP – IPFT alliance in Tirupura were anti-incumbency, alleged corruption by the Left Front government, and allegations that the CPI M worked for the benefit of only its workers and leaders. 

Many Tirupura residents said openly that the BJP victory was felt like Independence for them and now they were freed from Commie’s terror rule. It becomes certain that the main man behind this spectacular victory in Tirupura assembly election Biplab Kumar will be sworn in as the first Chief Minister of the BJP Government with absolute majority of 35 seats!

It is really sad to read the so-called leftists intellectuals and Sickular Pundits crying comments that ‘after all, Tirupura is having only 2 Lok Sabha Seats and it is not going to be a much gain for BJP in the forth coming Lok Sabha election. Even total Lok Sabha Seats in Tirupura (2), Meghalaya (2) and Nagaland (1) are only 5!’

With predominant Christian populations in Nagaland at 90% and in Meghalaya at 80%,  in 2013 assembly elections, Congress secured 15 seats with vote share of 25% in Nagaland and 29 seats with 35% vote share in Meghalaya. During 2018 election, the Christian Churches had openly canvassed for Congress or rather clearly against BJP – Vote for Cross and  not for Trishul. Still, Trishul won Cross, as Congress could not win even a single seat in Nagaland. 

But, in Meghalaya, Congress had managed to come as a single largest party with 21 seats with 29% vote share. Though BJP got only 2 seats (with increased vote share from 1 % in 2013 to 10% in 2018) in Meghalaya, BJP + had succeeded in bringing together all anti-congress parties and had formed the government with reluctant present Tura Lok Sabha MP Conrad Sangma of National People’s Party (NPP) as the Chief Minister. NPP won in 19 seats now as against its victory in 2 seats in 2013. Here again, Congress could not form a government in Meghalaya even after winning 21 seats and sending its tall leaders like Ahmed Patel and Kamal Nath to seek support from other winning parties.

Even in Nagaland, BJP+ had succeeded in forming its government with Neiphiu Rio as the Chief Minister, NDPP (Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party) leader and former Chief Minister. It was credit to the BJP that even the ruling Naga People’s Front (NPF) having won 27 seats was ready to align with the BJP with 11 seats to form the Government without NDPP! Now, Congress has become untouchable!

Out of 8 North East State, 7 States have come under the BJP rule leaving only Mizoram to Congress. In 2009, only 9 States were with BJP + and now, out of 32  States (29 full states and 2 semi-states – Delhi and  Puducherry), BJP + ruling States had swelled to whooping 22 States in all. The addition to the kitty after Modi became the PM, was incredible and Shaw – Modi strategies are to be credited with this success story.

As on date, Congress is left with 4 States – viz. Karnataka, Punjab, Mizoram and Puducherry, while 6 States – viz. Tamilnadu, Kerala, Telegana, West Bengal, Odisa and Delhi are under the control of various political parties. BJP’s next major challenge is to win Karnataka which, accordingly to Amit Shah, is certain and the BJP is aiming to reach the golden age by winning Karnataka, Odisha, Bengal and Kerala.

The way in which Shah – Modi Combination works, nothing is impossible and the days are not far off to see that BJP enters that memorable Golden Age.

Concrete planning and work with confidence and utmost devotion like Karma Yogis which are in the blood veins of Shaw and Modi are bound to fetch the GOLDEN AGE FOR BJP.
