Agartala, Nov 21 (FD) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has expressed his confidence that the ruling BJP would return to power with more seats in the next assembly elections in Tripura slated for February next year riding on people’s confidence in its good governance.
“People are happy with our performance and we have been able to deliver the fruits of good governance to 95-96 percent of beneficiaries in various schemes of the Centre and the state government. The government wants to take it to the saturation level,” he said.
“Recently, we launched the ‘Amar Sarkar’ portal to bridge the gap between the public representatives and the people. On this portal, any person can upload the details of the road which requires repairing and it will be done in 10 days,” he said.
Hitting out at the opposition for raising questions over the state’s law and order situation, Saha said the NCRB data indicates a sharp fall in crimes since 2018 when the BJP came to power in the state.
“Tripura is the second highest in seizure and destruction of ganja and other drugs. It shows the government has adopted zero tolerance to all sorts of crimes,” he claimed.
Discarding the opposition’s criticism over unemployment, he said that recently over 3,000 teachers were recruited through the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET).
“The people no longer want the Communists to rule the state again as they have embraced the saffron ideology of Pandit Deendayal Upadhayay,” he said.
The BJP routed the CPI(M)-led Left Front government of Tripura in the 2018 elections by winning 36 seats in the 60-member assembly. The next elections are due in the state in early 2023. FD JK
