Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha stated on April 4 that the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) election represents a historic moment, not just a routine poll, as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to win every seat with a significant margin amid strong support from the Janajati community.
Speaking at an election rally in the Kathalia-Mirza-Rajapur constituency, Saha said, “In TTAADC, CPI(M) and regional parties have ruled, but people have received nothing. Now BJP, a party that has fielded candidates in all 28 seats, has come. I want to request you to cast your vote for the BJP early in the morning for victory. After the BJP came, it has given Padma Shri to 8 Janajati people. Earlier, we had not seen such things before. We have also increased social pensions to Samajpatis. We know how to give due respect to Janajati. Our government has decided to appoint designated officers at the district and sub-divisional level just to look after schemes for Janajati people.”
Saha welcomed over 500 voters from Tipra Motha, including the 2023 Tipra Motha Party candidate from the Dhanpur Assembly constituency, Amiya Dayal Noatia, who joined the BJP.
He further said the CPI(M) had ruled the state for a long time but failed to resolve the longstanding issues of the Bru community, which the BJP government has addressed. “Due to our government, insurgency is nowhere, as all have joined the mainstream. We are providing threads to weavers. We have also set up a statue of our famous SD Barman, renamed the Airport as MBB Airport, and set up his statue. We know how to give respect,” Saha noted.
The Chief Minister highlighted the state’s funding for developmental projects within the TTAADC area. “We are committed to setting up two medical colleges in ADC areas. One nursing and paramedical college in Khumulwng will be established. We are setting up 21 EMRS schools in Janajati areas. I have also demanded relaxations for setting up EMRS. We have been implementing a series of projects for the development and progress of the Janajati. In this TTAADC election, this is not merely an election but a day to create history, as the BJP will win every seat with a huge margin, as the Janajati people have understood,” he concluded.
