BJP supporters on Twitter have been ecstatic after the trends which point at an imminent victory for the BJP in the CPIM bastion. Some users felt that the CPIM is now reduced to a single state and has no other branches.

For a party that draws inspiration from different communist regimes in the world from time to time, there was still hope left according to a Twitter user.

Another personality on Twitter liked the slogan ‘Rang De Basanti’ to the Saffron surge that India is witnessing in the past four years.

Others felt that Congress could still claim a moral victory in the state in spite of these results.
While we celebrate BJP incredible win in Tripura let us not forget that Congress vote share has dropped from 35% in 2013 to 1.8% in 2018. Yet another moral victory for Congress #TripuraElection2018

While the final results are still awaited we can clearly say that the CPIM has lost heavily in the current assembly election result.
