Tripura Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Sriram Taranikanti on Sunday said the atmosphere for Lok Sabha elections in the state is "perfectly conducive".

Taranikanti's comments came in the wake of allegations by the opposition CPI(M) about largescale pre-poll violence.

Addressing a press conference here, he said, "We hope to conduct a peaceful, free and fair Parliament election in Tripura, because the situation is conducive... The Centre has assured to dispatch adequate security forces for smooth conduct of polls."
