Speaking to media persons in the temple premises here, CM Manik Saha said “This time, BJP will assure victory in more five to six number of seats compared to the triumph in the previous assembly election. The ambiance was of panic during the 2018’s assembly election and today’s atmosphere is different as peace is prevailing everywhere. In such a situation, people will exercise their democratic rights in favour of that political party who created this peaceful atmosphere. In comparison to previous general election in Tripura, the results will be better and good this time.”
“Earlier, people visiting Agartala used to see red-colour buildings, now there is nothing as such. Earlier, government employees had to pay subscriptions to the ruling party every month, not this culture has been demolished. Hence, electorates will exercise their franchise looking into the developmental works initiated by the government and also cast their vote seeing the face of Manik Saha as well. Not only this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s works and dream for establishing the entire nation to certain spot of development are also the prime factors for the voters”, CM Manik Saha added.
