Senior TIPRA Motha leader and MLA Paul Dangshu said, “It was an unexpected act by the citizens.
They were being certainly instigated by a quarter who has failed to perform in 25 years and misguided the innocent people against the nation.”
Senior Congress leader and MLA Sudip Roybarman said, “They might be deprived by the government or the party in power not by the country, but boycotting vote is considered as opposing the festival of democracy.”
Veteran CPI-M leader and former minister Pabitra Kar opined, “Such incident never happened in the electoral history of Tripura . Road, water and electricity are the fundamental amenities for the citizens, which the government failed to ensure. Although its not a welcoming decision, shows the magnitude of their grievances.”

Meanwhile, a noted civil society member and right activist Biswajit Das attributed that even after attaining high litarecy, still voting takes place in India based on symbol, not evaluating the poll manifesto and implementation of the past promises.
“It appears that number of voters are gradually declining in India, rather number of cadres and party activists are increasing, which is harbinger a bad omen for democracy. Voters should go for manifesto audit to see the practicability of the poll promises before go for voting,” Das stated.
