Agartala
Manik Saha, who was sworn in as the Tripura Chief Minister following Biplab Kumar Deb’s resignation from the post ahead of the state Assembly elections next year, on Sunday said that there is no political challenge for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state.
The Chief Minister also promised to enhance law and order in the state along with resolving the issues of the people of Tripura.
After taking the oath, Saha said, We will move forward with the development issue of PM Modi and the BJP. We will also enhance law and order in the state along with resolving the issues of the people of Tripura. There’s no political challenge for us.
He took oath as chief minister of the state on Sunday at Raj Bhawan in Agartala.
The BJP legislative party meeting on Saturday had elected Saha as the legislature party leader in the presence of the Central observers. The BJP decided for leadership change in the state a year ahead of the Assembly elections by replacing Biplab Kumar Deb with Saha as the Chief Minister.
After Manik Saha was sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Tripura, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has once again taken recourse to its old mantra to beat anti-incumbency by changing the face in a poll-bound state.
Before Tripura, the BJP had scripted change in leadership in Gujarat, Karnataka and Uttarakhand. While the change of the face in Uttarakhand was done ahead of the elections, Gujarat is heading for year-end polls. Tripura and Karnataka are heading for elections next year.
