In a recent development in Tripura, BJP MLA Biswabandhu Sen has been elected as the Speaker of the Tripura Assembly with 32 votes. The opposition Congress candidate Gopal Roy received 14 votes. However, the Tipra Motha party, which was expected to cast their votes in favor of Congress, did not participate in the poll as their MLAs had walked out of the Assembly citing seating arrangement issues.
The election of Biswabandhu Sen as the Speaker is significant for the BJP, which has been facing opposition from Congress and the Tipra Motha party. The BJP’s victory in the Speaker’s poll is a major boost for the party, and it will strengthen its position in the Assembly.
The opposition, however, has accused the Tipra Motha party of playing a scripted drama to bypass the BJP. CPI-M former MLA Prabhat Chowdhury said, “It is a scripted drama to bypass the BJP.” The absence of Tipra Motha MLAs during the poll has also raised questions about their political stand and their willingness to align themselves with any political party.
