Result of bye-Election to 42-Amarpur Assembly constituency in Tripura were
declared today. As expected, Left Gront sponsored CPI(M) candidate Comrade
Parimal Debnath won the election with the biggest ever margin in this
constituency defeating his nearest BJP candidate by more than 10 thousand
votes. The Left Front candidate polled more than 60% of the valid votes and
the BJP candidate got 28.92% vote. All other candidates in the contest
including the Congress have lost their deposits.  The result:



Total Vote in the constituency                                   38,271

Total valid vote
33,740                   88.16% (Polling percentage)

The Tripura State Secretariat of the Party in a statement conveyed warm
greetings to the people of this constituency for this landslide victory. The
Secretariat also thanked the election staff and officers, security jawans
and  officials for free and fair peaceful conduct of the election without
any incident.



The margin of the CPI(M) candidate in this  bye-election is bigger by about
6500 than that in the 2013 general Assembly election. This indicates that
Left Front's support base is gradually getting wider through implementation
of innumerable development projects by the Left Front Government.  A large
section of Congress supporters seemingly voted for BJP, as indicated in this
poll result. This nakedly exposed the bankruptcy of the state Congress
leadership in carrying on ideological struggle against Hindutva elements,
the statement said.
