Tripura Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Dr Manik Saha on Monday said that unexpected response from the people of Tripura and other parts of the country confirmed that Narendra Modi will serve as Prime Minister for a third consecutive term.

 After participating in a road show held in Charilam under Sepahijala district, the Chief Minister said that as per the response from the crowds in Tripura indicated that both BJP candidates in the state would certainly win the ensuing parliamentary elections and Modi would be the Prime Minister for the third time.

People are very happy over the developmental strides achieved by the “double engine government under the leadership of PM Modi, Saha said adding that collaborative efforts between the BJP-led central and state governments speedup the development of Tripura and undertaken dozens of welfare measures for all sections of people.

Slamming the CPI(M) and Congress for “exploiting the indigenous people of Tripura for vote bank politics”, Saha, also a former state BJP President, alleged that development was at a standstill during the regime of the two parties and they only instigated the political violence.

 The Chief Minister thanked the Prime Minister for fulfilling decades old aspirations of the people and said whenever Modi or BJP promised anything, those have fulfilled it. “Be it Article 370, Ram Mandir, CAA or Triple Talaq”.

“Since the BJP came to power in Tripura, we have honored seven renowned indigenous personalities with the Padma Shri awards. The development of Janajati (tribals) communities is achievable only under PM Modi's leadership. Previously, IPFT supported us, and now Tipra Motha Party has joined. PM Modi prioritizes the northeast's development through the Act East Policy. Peace is essential for development that also achieved in the region,” said Dr Saha.

Saying that the BJP government is committed to strengthening the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council, the Chief Minister disclosed that the state government has increased the financial allocations to the TTAADC.
