Communists demand Tripura constituency vote delay amid BJP-organised violence
INDIAN communists met the chief election commissioner today to demand postponement of a vote in Tripura state amid widespread violence following a right-wing poll victory by the ruling BJP party.
The election in the 19-Charilam constituency for the Tripura state assembly had to be delayed following the death of the Communist Party of India — Marxist (CPI-M) candidate. It is scheduled to take place on Monday.
But the CPI-M said, that since the announcement of assembly results last Saturday, the BJP “has let loose a reign of terror and violence against the CPI-M and the Left Front,” the coalition it leads in Tripura.
