Agartala, February 9: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha stated on Sunday that peace and inclusive development in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) can only be achieved under the governance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He emphasized that the state government is continuously working towards the socio-economic development of every citizen.
While addressing an organizational meeting of the BJP at the TTAADC headquarters in Khumulwng, CM Saha noted the increasing competition among political parties to retain or regain power in the state. He stressed the need for a strong BJP-led government in the upcoming elections for the 30-member TTAADC, which are expected to take place in March-April.
Saha expressed encouragement from the active participation of mothers and sisters in the meeting, indicating that the future of the TTAADC under BJP leadership is promising.
He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for bringing transparency and accountability to governance, which he believes has transformed the political culture in the country. Referring to PM Modi’s commitment to corruption-free governance, CM Saha stated that a positive and development-oriented environment has been created across the nation and in Tripura under the BJP and NDA rule.
The Chief Minister criticized previous governments for misleading the people and allowing militancy to thrive, resulting in stalled development in various regions.
He remarked, “Development is not possible without peace. The BJP has helped restore peace and stability by bringing misguided elements into the mainstream. Since coming to power, our government has prioritized development.”
Saha pointed out that contradictory claims regarding government formation reflect political confusion. He mentioned that illegal encroachments in urban areas have been removed in the public interest, and despite attempts by certain groups to mislead the public, the government is considering rehabilitation measures for affected individuals.
Issuing a stern warning, the Chief Minister highlighted that several illegal activities are ongoing in the TTAADC without legal approval. He noted irregularities in the formation of village committees and the political misinformation surrounding the proposed Bishramganj Municipal Council, stating that these activities have already been exposed.
Saha concluded, “Negative Politics will not benefit the public. The BJP is committed to prioritizing development in the TTAADC while ensuring transparency, law and order, and peace. We must resolve to establish a BJP-led government in the TTAADC.”
