Chief Minister Prof. Dr Manik Saha on Saturday said that BJP candidates in Tripura will secure victory by a substantial margin, as the opposition lacks significant issues to contest in the elections.

He also criticized the opposition political parties for misleading the public by forming the INDI alliance.

Dr Saha  on Saturday  led a significant ‘padayatra’ campaign in support of Former Chief Minister Biplap Kumar Deb, the candidate for the West Tripura Parliamentary constituency, and Dipak Majumdar, the candidate for the Ramnagar Assembly Constituency by-election.

"Observing the unwavering faith of the people in the Bharatiya Janata Party and the massive response and support received during the padayatra, I am confident that BJP candidates of Lok Sabha and by-election will win by a record margin. From BJP Karyakartas to leaders, everyone is visiting people's homes seeking their support. We are appealing for support based on our work," he said.

Dr Saha further criticized a segment of political parties that suddenly emerge during elections without working for the people.

"The BJP works for the people year-round. Our PM Modi prioritizes the welfare of the people and works towards strengthening our nation. I am confident that the BJP will emerge victorious as the public is expressing their desire for Narendra Modi to continue as Prime Minister. If we aim to fortify our nation, we need PM Modi. A festive atmosphere has been fostered in the state. I am optimistic about our prospects in this Lok Sabha election and the by-election, as the opposition lacks significant issues to contest. The INDI alliance is merely a ploy to deceive the people," he added.
