The CPI M on its own has got more than three fourth of the seats increasing its tally to 46The Congress which made the wars t kind of opportunistic alliances with the separatist and terroristforces in the state has been reduced to just 10 seats, while its alliance partner the INPT has only.

managed to get one seat in the elections.This overwhelming mandate which the people of Tripura have given to the CPI(M) led Left front.

clearly indicates the appreciation of the good work done by the Left Front Government in the past..

While there have been consistent efforts to cony forward the development process in the state, the.

government has also used the widest possible democratic means to curb insurgency and bringpeace to the region. It was this popular support and politicization which ensured that more than 90%terrorist outfits. .

The Tripura results hove vindicated the principled struggle which theCPI(M) and the left forces have been waging for the advancement of tribal rights based on a unityof all the oppressed masses.

of the oppressed masses in the state..

The SFI appeal's to the student community to rally behind the Left forces in the coming days andstrengthen the struggle against the anti people policies of the ruling classes of our country as well as.

those forces which rely on mere rhetorics in the nome of left and seek 1o weaken the left movement.
