CM Dr. Manik Saha urges Indigenous People to join BJP, highlighting PM Modi’s Tribal Welfare Vision
Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha on Tuesday made a heartfelt appeal to the indigenous people of the state to strengthen the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), stating that both the state and the nation will become stronger with their active participation in the party. Addressing a large gathering during the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Foundation Day celebration in Takarjala, Dr. Saha reiterated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working tirelessly for the welfare and development of tribal communities.
“I am appealing to my indigenous brothers and sisters to join the Bharatiya Janata Party, knowing that Prime Minister Modi constantly thinks about the welfare of tribal people. Our state government, under his guidance, is also working in the same direction. If more indigenous people come forward and strengthen the BJP, both Tripura and India will move towards a stronger future,” Dr. Saha said.
PM Modi’s Vision for Indigenous Development
Highlighting the Centre’s commitment, the Chief Minister praised PM Modi’s Tribal Welfare vision and consistent focus on tribal uplift. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi is deeply concerned about the development of indigenous communities. His government has implemented several schemes and initiatives that directly benefit tribal people—whether it’s in healthcare, education, or infrastructure,” Dr. Saha noted.
