Agartala, 14th November 2026 : In a bid to strengthen the BJP’s electoral prospects ahead of the November 27 Dharmanagar Municipal Council elections, former Tripura Chief Minister and West Tripura MP Biplab Kumar Deb on Saturday held an important organisational meeting with party candidates and grassroots leaders.
Deb reached Dharmanagar railway station by train at around 11 AM, where local MLA Jahar Chakraborty, along with other BJP leaders and party workers, welcomed him with floral bouquets. Party supporters turned out in large numbers to greet the MP.
Soon after, Deb attended an organisational meeting at Vivekananda Sardhashatabarshiki Bhawan, which began at around 12:30 PM. All 25 BJP candidates contesting the municipal council elections participated in the meeting. Panisagar MLA Binay Bhushan Das, Bagbasa MLA Jadab Lal Nath and several other organisational leaders were also present.
The programme commenced with floral tributes to Bharat Mata, followed by the rendition of Vande Mataram. Deb was felicitated with bouquets and an uttariya by party representatives.
During the meeting, detailed discussions were held on the party’s election strategy, booth-level activities, candidate responsibilities and coordination between elected representatives and party workers. Strengthening the organisational network and ensuring effective campaigning ahead of polling remained the key focus.
Later, speaking to reporters, Deb launched a sharp attack on the CPI(M), alleging that the opposition party had lost much of its organisational strength after the 2023 Assembly elections. He claimed that several CPI(M) workers had already shifted their allegiance to the BJP and indicated that more could join the saffron camp in the coming days.
He also accused opposition leaders of spending more time criticising the BJP on social media than reaching out to voters. Expressing confidence in the BJP’s organisational strength, Deb maintained that party workers would continue to stand firmly behind the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The meeting is being viewed as an important step in the BJP’s efforts to streamline its election machinery and mobilise party workers across Dharmanagar ahead of the crucial municipal polls.
