Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on November 12 expressed confidence in the BJP’s prospects in the upcoming Urban Local Body (ULB) elections, citing positive public responses to the party’s campaign across the state.
Saha conducted a door-to-door campaign in Shantipara, Agartala, seeking support for BJP candidate Ratna Datta. He visited Booth Nos. 16 and 17, which fell under his responsibility as a booth guardian.
Speaking to reporters, Saha said the party had prepared a campaign schedule for him across different parts of Tripura. He added that he would visit various locations as assigned, although door-to-door campaigning might not be possible everywhere.
The Chief Minister attributed the positive public response to the government’s development initiatives and welfare measures, while acknowledging that some public expectations might remain unmet.
Highlighting improvements in drinking water supply, roads and electricity, he said the government was also focusing on the restoration and maintenance of ponds and lakes, besides addressing long-neglected civic issues.
Referring to Agartala, Saha said significant development had taken place across all 51 wards of the Agartala Municipal Corporation compared to previous years.
He reaffirmed the BJP’s commitment to its development agenda and expressed confidence that the party would receive strong public support in the upcoming ULB elections.
