Agartala, September 2: In a major political development in Gomati District, as many as 610 voters from 200 families officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at Killa Bazar, Bagma, on Tuesday. The programme witnessed the presence of Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha, who warmly welcomed the new members into the party fold.
Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Dr. Saha highlighted the growing faith of the people in the BJP’s vision and leadership. He said that citizens across Tripura have now realized that without the BJP, neither the state nor the country can achieve the goal of true development. “People have understood that the BJP works with the aim of inclusive growth and clean politics, unlike the previous regimes that thrived on corruption and fear,” he remarked.
Drawing a sharp comparison with the past, Dr. Saha pointed out that during the 35 years of CPI(M) rule and later under Congress, the state had been plagued by murder, terror, and political violence. He alleged that those governments indulged in “dirty politics,” where the Janajati community was treated merely as a vote bank without any real effort for their empowerment or development. “Today, the Janajati brothers and sisters have realized the difference. The BJP believes in dignity, respect, and progress for all communities,” he added.
Dr. Saha further stressed that the continuous support pouring into the BJP fold reflects the people’s trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and the state government’s development initiatives. He assured that the government is committed to maintaining peace, stability, and all-round growth in Tripura.
The event also saw the participation of MLA Rampada Jamatia, BJP State General Secretary Bipin Debbarma, and Mandal President Amar Jamatia, who echoed the Chief Minister’s views and encouraged the new members to contribute actively to strengthening the party at the grassroots level.
The large-scale joining programme at Killa Bazar is seen as another boost for the BJP in Tripura’s political landscape, reinforcing its growing influence among different communities, particularly in the Janajati-dominated areas of the state.
