Tripura Violence LIVE Updates: Lenin Statue Brought Down; 3 Arrested

CPI(M) offices were vandalised in different locations in Tripura.

A statue of Lenin was razed in Tripura days after the BJP stunned the Left, which was in power in the state for the last 25 years. The Russian revolutionary's statue was in the heart of Belonia town in south Tripura, 90 km from capital Agartala. The Tripura police today said it has received four complaints of "post-poll" violence from various parts of the state since last night. The BJP won 43 of the state's 60 seats along with a regional partner Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) in the assembly elections. Tripura was considered the Left's strongest citadel, presided over by the CPM's Manik Sarkar, 69, who had been chief minister for 20 years and was seeking re-election for the fifth consecutive term.

BJP does not ever practice culture of violence. In places like Tripura, Left parties have chosen to be silent about 11 BJP workers who were killed. Some of those who support Left parties are trying to foist these kind of debates that a statue is removed: Nalin Kohli of the BJP.
