In a sharp critique, Dr Saha criticized opposition parties for their involvement in what he characterized as the misleading strategies of the INDIA bloc.

Leading a prominent padayatra campaign, Tripura chief minister Manik Saha drummed up support for former CM Biplap Kumar Deb, who is contesting for the West Tripura parliamentary constituency, and Dipak Majumdar, the candidate for the Ramnagar assembly constituency by-election.

“Encouraged by the steadfast trust of the people in the BJP and the enthusiastic response garnered during the padayatra, I am confident that BJP candidates for both the Lok Sabha and by-elections will secure victory by a significant margin,” said Tripura CM Dr Manik Saha.
