Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on April 7 reaffirmed the public’s growing faith in the BJP-led government of the state. While addressing a public event, he stated that the unity between tribal and non-tribal communities remains central to Tripura’s progress. He said the people have responded positively to the government’s initiatives, which focus on fast-tracking development, strengthening harmony, and resolving grievances without delay.
He emphasized that the administration continues to work with transparency and accountability, which has built trust among citizens. Manik Saha said the government listens to people from all backgrounds and acts with urgency to resolve their issues. He acknowledged the contribution of both tribal and non-tribal populations in shaping the identity and spirit of Tripura. According to him, that bond is essential to the vision of an inclusive and forward-looking state.
During his speech, the chief minister pointed to the state’s commitment to welfare, including initiatives that address rural infrastructure, healthcare, women’s empowerment, and education. He explained that the state government acts quickly when faced with public concerns and believes in bringing solutions closer to the grassroots. He said that without the cooperation of people, no administration could succeed, and in Tripura, that cooperation is growing stronger by the day.
Manik Saha also mentioned the importance of community outreach in creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and social peace. He said that the BJP-led government believes in walking with the people, not ruling from a distance. He added that continuous field visits and village-level engagements have helped the government shape policies that reflect the real needs of the public. He said leaders must remain accessible and must prioritize the voices of citizens over party lines or bureaucracy.
The chief minister reflected on the state’s political past and the challenges that came with it. He said Tripura had experienced long stretches of neglect under earlier regimes, which left people frustrated and disconnected from governance. He claimed that the BJP-led government has tried to reverse that trend by making governance more people-centric and result-driven. He noted that the visible changes in roads, electricity, schools, and public health services reflect that shift.
He expressed confidence in the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the central government’s support has helped Tripura achieve targets that once seemed out of reach. He said Tripura is no longer on the sidelines of national progress. Instead, it has become an active participant in shaping the development narrative of the Northeast. He stated that collaboration between the Centre and the state has created new pathways for growth and self-reliance.
Manik Saha also underlined the importance of law and order in maintaining public faith. He said the government remains alert to threats that disrupt harmony and will never allow elements that divide society to succeed. He praised the efforts of law enforcement and administration for working together to maintain peace, especially in sensitive areas of the state. He said safety and development go hand in hand and that people have the right to live without fear or disruption.
The chief minister further highlighted youth development as a key area of focus. He said the government has been working on skilling programs, employment incentives, and educational reforms to ensure that the younger generation has the tools to build their future within the state. He called upon youth to contribute with new ideas and energy while reassuring them of full institutional support.
He ended his address by urging all communities to move forward as one, keeping their differences aside and focusing on a shared future. He said Tripura has made significant progress, but much remains to be done. With the support of its people, Manik Saha believes the state will continue to evolve as a model of unity, peace, and progress in the Northeast.
Manik Saha also used the occasion to reiterate the significance of cultural identity in Tripura’s development journey. He said that the government has actively promoted the preservation of indigenous traditions, languages, and festivals as a way to strengthen community pride and social cohesion. He mentioned that when people see their heritage respected by the administration, they feel more involved in the larger story of governance. He described cultural harmony as a strong foundation for sustainable development.
He said the administration has taken special interest in the border areas of the state, recognizing their strategic importance. According to him, these regions often face unique challenges and require targeted intervention. He assured the people living in those areas that the government will not treat them as peripheral but will prioritize infrastructure, schools, and connectivity in those zones. He said no citizen should feel isolated because of their geographical location.
The chief minister also highlighted the role of women in shaping the state’s progress. He said the government has launched several schemes that focus on financial empowerment, safety, and health for women. He believes empowering women means empowering families and communities. He also appreciated the increasing participation of women in local governance and administration, which he said reflects a positive social shift encouraged by government policy.
Manik Saha said the BJP-led government wants to make Tripura not just a better-governed state but also an aspirational one where people from across the country can see potential. He mentioned that investors, educational institutions, and healthcare providers have started showing interest in the state because of the positive transformation it has undergone in recent years. He said this interest must be nurtured through stable leadership and consistent reforms.
In his closing remarks, he assured the public that the government would remain firm in its mission to serve without discrimination. He said no community would be left behind, and development would reach the doorsteps of even the most remote village. Manik Saha reaffirmed that this inclusive approach is what fuels the trust people have placed in the BJP-led administration, and he pledged to continue building on that trust with action, not just words.
