LF cabinet to be sworn in on March 6, victory rally on March 7

Agartala, Mar 01, 2013 : The new cabinet of the reelected left front government headed by Manik Sarkar as chief minister is all set to be sworn in on March 6 in Raj Bhawan in a simple official ceremony while the victory rally of the Front will come off next day on March 7. A final decision in this regard was taken in a meeting of the Front constituents held in CPI (M) party headquarters at Melarmath area of Agartala. Unwilling to go on record regarding the dates before a formal announcement in an interaction with the media at night , a senior CPI (M) leader desisted from elaborating on the issue.

Apart from this, a jubilant chief minister Manik Sarkar who is going to be sworn in for a record fourth consecutive time thanked and congratulated the people of the state for giving such a massive mandate to the left front in the just-concluded election. 'It is a positive mandate in favour of peace and development ; the politically conscious and mature electorate of the state saw through everything and reposed their trust in the left front again' said Sarkar in an interaction with the media last night. He however said that 'defeat and victory are inalienable parts of life' and every body should co-operate with the new government in maintaining peace and harmony in Tripura. He asserted that left front's victory in Tripura will strengthen and stimulate left movement in the entire country and his new government will work with 'more responsibility and dedication'.

Meanwhile, women candidates have set a record of sorts in the just-concluded assembly election . In the list of altogether 249 candidates there were five women nominated by CPI (M) , five by the BJP and four by the Congress, putting the total number of female candidates at only fourteen . But all five women candidates nominated by the CPI (M) including minister for social welfare Bijita Nath have come out winners . The remaining four women winners of the CPI (M) are Vijaylaxmi Sinha from Kamalpur subdivision, Rita Kar Mazumder from Sabroom subdivisional town, Tunurani Malakar from Pabiacherra (SC) under Kailasahar subdivision and Gouri Das from Teliamura seat in the namesake subdivision . This will be the highest representation of women at a time in Tripura assembly.
