TIPRA Motha chief Pradyot Deb Barma asked his supporters not to be sad with the exit poll results as the predictions are paid
Reacting to the celebrations over the exit-poll predictions for Tripura Assembly elections, TIPRA Motha chief Pradyot Deb Barma on Monday said in an audio message that the losers make the most noise before facing defeat.
“Don’t be sad over the exit polls shown on television. You voted and you know whom you voted for. These people will write anything for money. Don’t worry and just wait for another 36 hours and after that entire India will come to know what Tiprasa is going to do this time”, said Deb Barma, the royal scion.
“Those who are bursting crackers now, we will have to help them after the results on March 2 because they would spend all their money bursting crackers by then. And then we will talk about the main constitutional solution. I am talking to you all…don’t worry. Those who make the biggest noise before the defeat”, said Deb Barma.
In the 60 seats assembly, BJP is contesting 55 while five seats have been given to its ally IPFT. TIPRA Motha is contesting 42 seats.
All the four exit polls declared yesterday predict another term for the BJP and its ally in Tripura with TIPRA Motha expected to bag around 9-16 seats.

The Times Now-ETG Research exit poll has predicted a close fight between the NDA and Left-Congress alliance, with the saffron party and its allies racing ahead. The BJP+ alliance is set to win 24 seats against the Left-Cong’s tally of 21. The Tipra Motha, who has been demanding a Greater Tipraland state, is predicted to win 14 seats.
