He also mentioned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s focus on development and infrastructure has contributed to progress in both India and Tripura. “We are working towards building a developed Tripura as part of a developed India,” he added.
Saha highlighted Tripura’s 14.21% GSDP growth in 2023-24, positioning it among the top-performing states. He credited this to transparent governance and ongoing efforts in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and social welfare, despite financial challenges.
