With the goal of gifting two Lotus from Tripura to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the state BJP has already geared up the preparations.
On Thursday, Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha expressed confidence that the BJP would surpass the vote margin in both of Tripura’s Lok Sabha seats compared to the previous year in the upcoming 2024 election.
The Chief Minister said this during an organisational meeting of the BJP Janajati Morcha at the BJP state party office in Agartala today.
To this end, a five-day Vistarak Yojana programme will begin in 20 Janajati reserved seats across the state on December 12, 2023.
“BJP holds organisational meetings at different times on various topics. Today, we are conducting an organisational meeting with Janajati leaders, including district presidents and Mandal presidents. As you all know, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we have won three states. The BJP is always at work, as we believe in ‘Seva hi Sangathan,’ and we are holding this meeting following that principle,” he said.
Dr. Saha mentioned that the focus of this meeting is on strengthening the party for the upcoming Lok Sabha election.
“We have 20 Scheduled Tribe (ST) reserved seats, and we will decide how the Janajati Morchas, District Presidents, and Mandal Presidents will work at the grassroots level. We will formulate strategies, and leaders from all districts have attended. Our preparations for the Lok Sabha election started long ago, and from here, we will send vistarak (expansionist) teams to these 20 ST reserved seats. I am confident that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the same government will be formed in the Lok Sabha, and in Tripura, we are confident of surpassing the margin of votes from last year in this Lok Sabha election,” he added.
During the meeting, BJP state president Rajib Bhattacharya, former Deputy Chief Minister Jishnu Dev Varma, Ministers Santana Chakma and Bikas Debbarma, BJP general secretaries Amit Rakshit and Papia Datta, and other leaders were present.
