Tripura

The Land Acquisition Act of L894 was repealed and The Right To Fair Compensation And Transparency In Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (LARR 2013) was passed in its place. This Act had emerged through long deliberations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee and a consultative process involving different political parties, organisations of the peasantry, rural poor and concerned individuals to try and achieve a consensus. Despite some limitations, the LARR 2013 had
certain principles enshrined in it to ensure some protection for the farmers and dependents on land and safeguard the food security concerns of the country. 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) congratulates the people of Tripura for the magnificent victory that they bestowed on the Tripura Left Front in the elections to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).

Through this verdict the people of Tripura have demonstrated and reiterated their faith and confidence in the Left Front government. However, there is no room for complacency and self-boasting for this spectacular victory. This has only further heightened the responsibility of the Left Front and obviously the Left Front government. Keeping all these in mind, we shall have to prepare ourselves to discharge our responsibilities and tasks in a befitting manner with due guidance and cooperation of the people of Tripura at large.

The Central Committee noted that the Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal and the Law Minister Ashwani Kumar, were finally forced to resign after the Prime Minister and the Congress party resisted this demand while the parliament session was on. This has exposed the hypocrisy of the Congress which has blamed the opposition for the disruption of the parliamentary proceedings since the wrong-doing of the ministers became known.

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) warmly greets the people of Tripura for electing the Left Front to a historic fifth successive term in office. With this reelection, the seventh Left Front Government will be formed in Tripura.The Left Front has won a sweeping victory getting 50 out of the 60 assembly seats. This is one more than the tally of 49 won in the previous election.

The Left Front has won a majority in 13 out of the 15 nagar panchayats. It has also retained the Agartala Municipal Council by winning 28 out of the 35 seats. The Left Front has won 81 per cent of the seats in the municipal council and the nagar panchayats.This decisive victory is confirmation of the confidence that the people of Tripura repose in the CPI(M) and the Left Front.

In the elections held to the Tripura Tribal Autonomous District Council, the Left Front has won all 25 results declared so far. Elections were held for 27 seats and election to one seat was countermanded due to the death of a candidate. The results of the remaining two seats are expected late in the night.
