Agartala, Nov 11 : Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Wednesday conducted a door-to-door campaign in his Assembly constituency of Town Bardowali, expressing confidence that the BJP would win all 51 seats it is contesting in the upcoming municipal and urban local body elections.
Accompanied by BJP candidate Ratna Dutta, Saha visited several localities under the constituency as part of the party’s campaign ahead of the November 27 civic polls.
The Chief Minister interacted with residents in Booth Nos. 16 and 17 and conducted public outreach across different areas of Ward No. 20. During the campaign, he visited households, listened to people’s grievances and sought feedback on local issues and civic amenities.
He also highlighted various development projects and welfare initiatives undertaken by the BJP government in the state.
According to Dutta, the campaign received an encouraging response from residents, who actively interacted with the Chief Minister and other party leaders.
Speaking to reporters, Saha said no political party could expect public support unless it addressed people’s needs and aspirations.
He claimed that the BJP had maintained a strong connection with the people through its governance initiatives and welfare programmes.
Expressing confidence about the party’s electoral prospects, the Chief Minister said the BJP would emerge victorious in all 51 municipal seats it was contesting. The only question, he added, was the margin of victory for individual candidates.
Saha said the BJP believed in public service and remained engaged in addressing people’s concerns throughout the year rather than restricting its activities to election periods.
Development and good governance were the main pillars of the party’s election campaign, he said, citing infrastructure projects, welfare measures and administrative reforms undertaken by his government.
Taking a swipe at the Congress, the Chief Minister questioned the opposition party’s organisational strength, referring to its limited representation at the national level and in the Tripura Legislative Assembly.
With campaigning gathering momentum, the BJP has intensified its door-to-door outreach across municipal areas, seeking to highlight the government’s development record and welfare initiatives.
The municipal and urban local body elections in Tripura are scheduled to be held on November 27.
