The Hindu  

Deployment of central paramilitary forces in polling stations across four Assembly constituencies has been ordered by the Election Commission for the conduct of free, fair and peaceful bypolls in Tripura on Thursday. Mr. Barman and his long-time friend Ashish Kumar Saha, who is in the fray against Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha at Town Bardowali, won from their home turfs for five consecutive terms. Though byelections are taking place in the four constituencies, Town Bardowali and Agartala constituencies have caught wide attention as BJP turncoats Ashish Kumar Saha and Sudip Roy Barman are trying to retain the seats while the saffron party is unleashing all efforts to turn the tide. The BJP wants to make sure that its Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha wins in Town Bardowali and its main foe Sudip Roy Barman loses Agartala.
