Agartala, 9th November 2026 : With the Urban Local Body elections approaching, Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha has set his sights on a strong electoral performance in North Tripura, expressing confidence that the BJP would win at least 13 of the 25 wards under the Dharmanagar Municipal Council and Panisagar Nagar Panchayat.
The Chief Minister made the assertion on Monday after chairing an organisational meeting with BJP leaders, party workers and nominated candidates at Dharmanagar. The meeting focused on election preparations, campaign strategies and ways to strengthen the party’s outreach among voters.
Dr Saha said the BJP was intensifying its organisational activities at different levels to ensure that its candidates effectively reach out to the electorate and communicate the achievements of the state government.
He urged party workers to highlight the development initiatives undertaken during the BJP’s tenure, stating that the government’s performance across urban areas would be a major factor in the forthcoming elections.
“The amount of development undertaken by our government is visible across the state. The opposition may continue its criticism, but the people know what we have delivered,” he said.
Claiming that development had reached every ward, municipality, Nagar Panchayat and the Agartala Municipal Corporation, Dr Saha said the government remained committed to expanding infrastructure and improving civic amenities through various departments and government agencies.
The Chief Minister also emphasised the importance of coordination between candidates and grassroots-level workers, asking them to strengthen their engagement with residents and take the government’s achievements to every household.
Highlighting the BJP’s electoral ambitions in North Tripura, he said the party was determined to retain public confidence and secure victories in both Dharmanagar and Panisagar.
Dr Saha further maintained that the improved law and order situation, alongside development projects and government initiatives, would form the central themes of the BJP’s election campaign.
“We will approach the people with our development record and the improved law and order situation. We will seek their blessings and appeal to them to ensure a bigger victory margin than in the previous elections,” he added.
