Tripura chief minister Manik Saha said that the primary competition for the BJP lies within its own ranks rather than against the opposition INDIA bloc candidates who are already out of the poll fray.
The poll bugle in Tripura began with joint campaign by Tipra Motha Party (TMP), the main opposition party and the ruling BJP on Saturday for the forthcoming parliamentary elections.
Tripura chief minister Manik Saha has praised the governing style of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and plans to implement a similar model in Tripura.
A team of Tripura police on Friday arrested journalist Saikat Talapatra from West Bengal's Sodepur in North 24 Paragana district on charges of maligning Tripura chief minister Manik Saha and many other politicians through his online channels.
Following the announcement of the Tripura by-election results, Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha characterized the by-election as a significant contest and victory of democracy as he viewed that the opposition CPI-M’s allegations were baseless.
