Tripura CM Dr Manik Saha intensified the BJP’s Agartala civic poll campaign with a door-to-door outreach programme in Ward No. 20, inaugurating Booth No. 17 office and highlighting roads, drinking water, electricity and urban development initiatives.
With campaigning for the upcoming urban local body elections gathering momentum, Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Thursday intensified the Bharatiya Janata Party’s grassroots outreach by participating in a door-to-door campaign in Agartala, highlighting urban development, improved civic infrastructure and public welfare as key priorities.
As part of the campaign, the Chief Minister inaugurated the BJP’s Booth No. 17 election office in Ward No. 20 and participated in a public outreach programme seeking people’s support and blessings for the party’s nominated candidates. He interacted with residents across different localities, receiving feedback and discussing issues related to civic amenities and urban development.
Sharing his experience of the campaign, Dr Manik Saha said the enthusiasm, affection and positive response from residents reflected their strong expectations for development, good governance and a brighter future. He described the public response as encouraging and expressed gratitude for the continued support and blessings of the people.
The Chief Minister reiterated the BJP’s commitment to building a developed Agartala through inclusive development and people-centric governance. He maintained that the government would continue working to fulfil public aspirations by improving essential services and strengthening urban infrastructure.
Speaking to reporters during the campaign, Dr Manik Saha said a detailed tour schedule had been prepared in consultation with the party leadership to facilitate his participation in election campaigns across different parts of Tripura. He explained that his visit to Shantipara was also connected with his responsibility as the party’s booth in-charge for Booth No. 16, an area with which he has close personal and political associations.
He added that although it might not be possible to personally conduct door-to-door campaigns in every locality, he intended to visit different constituencies and municipal areas according to the programme prepared by the BJP organisation.
Highlighting the BJP’s priorities for the upcoming civic elections, the Chief Minister identified drinking water supply, road improvement, reliable electricity and the restoration and maintenance of ponds and other water bodies as major focus areas. He said these facilities directly affect the everyday lives of urban residents and therefore remain central to the party’s development agenda.
Dr Manik Saha also pointed to the infrastructure development undertaken across all 51 wards of the Agartala Municipal Corporation. Comparing the city’s present condition with previous years, he asserted that significant improvements had been achieved in urban infrastructure and public services.
According to the Chief Minister, the government has undertaken several ambitious development projects and administrative reforms to improve the quality of life in urban areas. He acknowledged that certain challenges and public expectations remain, but maintained that the administration is consistently working towards addressing them.
He further emphasised that transparency, accountability and a development-oriented approach are essential components of effective governance. The BJP, he said, remains committed to public service throughout the year and not merely during election periods.
