Manik Sarkar Resigns As Tripura Chief Minister
Outgoing Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar submitted his resignation to Governor Tathagata Roy today, a day after the CPI (M)-led Left Front was dethroned by the BJP-IPFT coalition after being in power for nearly 25 years.
The governor advised Sarkar, who was the chief minister since 1998, to continue until the new chief minister takes oath.
Coming out of the Raj Bhavan, Sarkar said that he and his ministers would not have been able to run the government for so many years without the support and cooperation of the people and their employees.
He expressed his gratitude to the people of the state and the staff members of the state administration.

The BJP-IPFT combine scripted history yesterday by winning the Tripura Assembly polls with a two-third majority, ending 25 years of uninterrupted rule of the CPI (M)-led Left Front in the northeastern state.
The BJP and the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) won 43 seats and the CPI(M) won 16. Election on 59 seats of the 60-member assembly was held on Feb. 18. The polling was countermanded in one seat due to death of a CPI(M) candidate.
