Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha shut down rumors of infighting within the state’s ruling coalition on Sunday. He insisted the BJP, IPFT, and Tipra Motha remain locked into a singular mission of equitable growth. Critics hope for a split. They will stay disappointed.
Saha spoke to reporters following a Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas event in the Chawmanu area of Dhalai district. He told the press, "Our critics have been trying hard to create misunderstanding within the NDA allies, but these efforts shall entail no fruitful results." The event honored the birth anniversary of Birsa Munda, a prominent tribal freedom fighter.
The government is pushing hard to shrink the gap between urban centers and isolated corners of the state. Saha admitted that geography presents a challenge. He argued that consistent access to basic amenities is the only way to heal deep-seated disparities. The administration has already started several projects to fix these service gaps.
Saha used the celebration to grow the local education footprint. He virtually opened four Eklavya Model Residential Schools in Chawmanu, Ampi, Manu, and Hezamara. Two more schools in Mandwai and Amarpur also kicked off their academic sessions. The venue hosted live broadcasts of speeches from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram.
During his address, the Chief Minister praised the bravery of tribal revolutionaries. He noted that their historical sacrifices keep the fire of patriotism burning today. The government remains focused on new initiatives to boost livelihoods and improve the socio-economic status of indigenous communities across the state.
