New Delhi [India], Mar. 3(ANI): With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) inching closer to forming the government in the Left bastion of Tripura, Union Minister of Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday said the people have chosen to end 25 years of Leftist misgovernance.

" I congratulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this victory. It's after 25 yrs of leftist 'dushaasan' (misgovernance) that people have chosen the BJP.
