The newly elected BJP MLAs are set to meet later on Monday to elect the chief minister at the party's office at Colonel Chowmuhani in Agartala, a senior party leader said.
The Supreme Court of India Monday was told that mosques were damaged and properties belonging to Muslims were looted and burnt during the ant-Muslim carnage that took place in October in Tripura.
Amidst allegations of political violence, Tripura will go to Civic Polls (Nagar Nigam Elections) on Thursday with security measures further tightened on the directions of the Supreme Court, officials said.

The assertion on Thursday came after Deb said he would hold a public mandate event in Agartala on December 13, claiming that he would resign if he was rejected.
However, the even has been cancelled after the central BJP stepped in two days ago and asked him not to hold a public meeting next week to seek the people s mandate on whether he should continue as CM.
