Lokniti-CSDS postpoll study 2023 | Important electoral issues in Tripura Assembly election

The Hindu  

In a post-poll survey conducted by Lokniti-CSDS, unemployment and lack of development appeared to be the key electoral issues for the voters in Tripura. When asked in an open-ended question, close to three in ten voters stated unemployment and a quarter mentioned lack of development as the most important voting consideration. Had it not been a triangular contest the issues of unemployment, poverty and lack of good governance could have hurt the BJP alliance because the proportion of those who stated these three as important electoral issues and voted for the Left alliance and TIPRA Motha combined is greater than those who voted for the BJP and its ally. Interestingly, those who stated lack of good governance as an important issue voted for the TIPRA Motha, suggesting a potential lack of trust in the national party/ alliance-led governments because of past experiences. The victory of the ruling BJP-IPFT alliance in the State can be partially attributed to the development that took place in the State in the last five years and partially to a triangular contest resulting in a vote split of those who stated issues other than lack of development as main electoral issues.
