Vajpayee’s political journey began with his active involvement in the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, which later became the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The party appears to be falling short of securing an absolute majority, which could potentially leave it reliant on its coalition partners within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to form a government.

Tipra Motha Party (TMP) supporters raise slogans during NDA candidate for East Tripura Parliamentary constituency Kriti Devi Singh Deb Barman's nomination filing procession, in Agartala, Thursday.

The government will seek the trust vote on the first day of the budget session after the customary address by Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar to both Houses of the legislature, the notification issued by the Parliamentary Affairs Department said.
