The BJP created history by winning the Tripura Assembly polls yesterday, ending 25 years of uninterrupted rule of the CPI(M)-led Left Front in the state. The party captured 23 seats on its own while its alliance partner, the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) bagged seven seats, giving the combine a majority in the House, according to Election Commision (EC) sources.
