Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha expects a clean sweep for the BJP in the upcoming Urban Local Body elections. He hit the campaign trail on November 11 to stump for candidate Ratna Datta within the Agartala Municipal Corporation. The party aims to replicate its previous success across all 51 wards.
Saha claims the government wins votes by fixing problems. He insists results matter more than personalities. "People accept us because we reach out to them through our work. My personal relationship or familiarity with someone is not important. What matters is work," Saha told reporters. He admits the state government has not solved every issue, but he argues they remain committed to listening to residents.
The Chief Minister focused his campaign energy on Ward No. 16. It is his home turf where he grew up and built his career. He claims to know almost every family in the neighborhood. Highlighting his deep ties to the area, he believes these regular interactions solidify voter loyalty.
Saha remains bullish on the party's statewide prospects. He pointed to the last election cycle as evidence of their dominance. "Last year, we won all 51 wards, and this time too, we are confident," he said. He claims citizens are coming out to support the party voluntarily.
