While addressing a poll rally at Khayerpur here, Nadda said, “We would bring lots of development for the infrastructure development of Tripura. Our government is committed to work for the economic development of the state. A Special Economic Zones (SEZ) would be created in the state to develop and strengthen the basic infrastructure of the state.”

“The new government would invest Rs 600 crores from the Tripura Gram Unnat Fund. We welcome the ‘Nai Umang Nai Udan and Unnata Tripura Shrestha Tripura’,” Nadda asserted.
