Agartala, Aug 23: The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Tripura received a major boost before the Village Councils elections in Tripura Tribal Area Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) as 860 voters formally joined the party at Majlishpur Constituency on Monday.

The voters left  regional parties like Tipra Motha and IPFT while some came from CPM to join BJP.

Tripura Information and Cultural Affairs Minister Sushanta Chowdhury, who is an MLA from Majlishpur, welcomed the new comers to the BJP in presence of state president of BJP Janajati Morcha, Bikas Debbarma and other leaders.

The new comers are from six village councils- Chargharia, Uttar Joynagar, Paschim Barjala, Madhavbari, Kaiyachandbari and Bishrambari under Majlishpur constituency, Chowdhury told reporters.

He said, the ideals of nationalism inspired the Janajati people to join BJP – a national party. Moreover, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Sab ka Saath, Sab ka Vikas’ mantra also had a positive impact on the Janajati people, he added.

Chowdhury also pointed out that earlier, efforts were made to keep the Janajati people away from the BJP by misleading them – however, the Janajati people foiled such efforts and started joining BJP in large numbers quitting other parties.
