Left Front retains Tripura tribal council with thumping majority

Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)-led Left Front in Tripra Friday stormed back to power in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) for the second consecutive term in the election held on May 3. Total number of seats is 28. Election was suspended in one seat due to death of a candidate. CPI-M secured 25 seats while its ally Communist Party of India (CPI) bagged one seat.
With this victory, the Left Front has captured the TTAADC four times (1985, 1995, 2005 and 2010) after the autonomous body was formed under the sixth schedule of the Indian constitution in 1985. 
Tripura CM, Manik Sarkar and CPIM Central Committee thanked the people of Tripura and appealed to all sections to co-operate with the newly elected council to carry forward the welfare schemes for the development of backward communities.
