In the last Assembly elections in 2008, 313 candidates, including 18 women, had contested the polls.
Tripura had a record polling of 91.22 per cent in the last Assembly polls in 2008
Tripura has had a Left Front government since 1978.There was a break only in 1988-93 when there was a Congress regime.Since then, in the three subsequent elections in 1998, 2003 and 2008, the Left Front won with a two-thirds majority. All in all, the Left Front has been in government for six terms since 1978, except for the one term in 1988-93
The record of the Left Front government under the leadership of Manik Sarkar is also outstanding in the developmental and welfare activities. It is acknowledged by all that Tripura is the best governed state in the north-east. In the 2001 census, Tripura was in terms of the literacy rate the 11th among all states; in the 2011 census,Tripura had reached the 4th position with 88 per cent literacy. There were no farmers suicides and no starvation deaths in the last 10 years.
Tripura stood first in the country in 2011 by generating 86 average man days under the rural employment guarantee scheme (MNREGA). Tripura has also done justice to the tribal people by being in the forefront in implementing the Forest Rights Act. By mid 2012, 1,19,342 pattas had been distributed to forest dwellers securing their land. There are 16 pension schemes that cover almost all BPL families.
As far as infrastructure is concerned, 90 per
cent of the total of 8,312 habitations are electrified. 90 percentage of
irrigable land has been brought under irrigation facilities and 50 per cent of
the total cultivable land is now irrigated.
The biggest step taken by the current Left Front
government was the introduction of 35 kgs rice at Rs 2 per kilo for all BPL
card holders which is 2 lakh families. In the north-eastern states, rice is
supplied at Rs 5 to 6 per kilo due to the higher transportation costs
Polling 93% in Tripura Assembly Polls- Thursday Feb 14,2013
CPI-M, the dominant partner in the LF, contested 55 seats, RSP two and CPI two and Forward Bloc one. Congress contested 48 seats and its alliance partners INPT in 11 and National Conference of Tripura in one.
Tripura on Thursday set a new record for the country's highest-ever voter turnout with 93 % polling in the Assembly elections which was by and large peaceful.
Deputy Election Commissioner Alok Shukla said the highest voting of 99 % was recorded in a polling booth at Chanman JB School under Radha Kishorpur Assembly constituency in Gomati district, where 600 of the 605 voters cast their votes.
The Left Front is hoping to return for a record fifth straight time in the elections to the 60-member Assembly in the north-eastern state with the contest being mainly between the ruling alliance and the Congress.
