He especially thanked the people of Tripura, where the BJP wiped out the CPI(M) government which has ruled the north-eastern state uninterrupted since 1993.

“Congratulations to people of #Tripura for historic victory of BJP in the legislative assembly elections. People of #Tripura have accepted development against discriminatory and corrupt leftist rule. Gratitude to the people,” he wrote.
