Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha embarked on a door-to-door campaign in Sepahijala district on Thursday, setting the tone for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in the state.
Accompanied by BJP leader Nabadal Banik and a cadre of party activists, the chief minister kickstarted the campaign from the Kanchanmala area within the Tripura West Lok Sabha constituency.
He distributed copies of an open letter penned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging citizens to rally behind the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' (developed India).
In a social media update, Saha wrote, "To make the BJP victorious in the parliamentary elections, I have visited three booths of Kanchanmala under the Golaghati assembly constituency today. I have seen the people's faith in Modi ji and I am sure that the BJP will cross the 400-seat milestone in the Lok Sabha elections."
He pressed his confidence in the party's ability to surpass the 400-seat mark in the Lok Sabha.
Engaging with villagers during the campaign, Saha solicited their support for BJP candidate and former chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb in the Tripura West constituency.
Villagers welcomed the chief minister with traditional conch blowing, providing him with an opportunity to grasp their concerns and aspirations firsthand.
The electoral landscape in Tripura is set for a significant showdown, with polls scheduled for the Tripura West parliamentary constituency and the Ramnagar assembly bypoll on April 19.
The Tripura East Lok Sabha seat will go to polls on April 26, shaping the political trajectory of the state.
