"Congress-CPIM candidate's deposit will be forfeited": BJP candidate Jawhar Chakraborty ahead of Dharmanagar by-election

BJP candidate Jawhar Chakraborty, after meeting CM Manik Saha, forecasts a massive win in the Dharmanagar by-election, claiming the opposition will lose its deposit.

"We are confident that in this 56-Dharmanagar election, the Congress-CPIM candidate's deposit will be forfeited. - Jawhar Chakraborty"

Dharmanagar, March 23

Following a meeting with Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, BJP candidate Jawhar Chakraborty expressed confidence in securing the 56-Dharmanagar Assembly seat in the upcoming by-election.

The by-election was necessitated by the sudden passing of sitting MLA and Assembly Speaker Biswa Bandhu Sen.

Speaking to ANI on Sunday, Chakraborty noted that the Chief Minister provided a roadmap for the campaign, guiding workers from the booth to the district level.

"He guided us on how we should work at every booth, every home, every village, and every street. He explained the entire system and strategy to us. Our singular goal is to build a developed and progressive Dharmanagar together. This is my aim, and it's the aim with which all our workers are dedicatedly working," he said.

He asserted that the opposition will struggle to retain their deposits. "We are confident that in this 56-Dharmanagar election, the Congress-CPIM candidate's deposit will be forfeited. The BJP's symbol, the Lotus, will win with a massive majority, and a 'Lotus' from Dharmanagar will reach the Tripura Legislative Assembly," the candidate remarked.

"I want to tell all the voters and citizens of Dharmanagar and Tripura that we are moving forward with the slogan 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas. Together, we will build a newly developed Dharmanagar...Tomorrow is the scheduled day for filing the nomination. We expect that supporters and voters of BJP from every ward and every house will join us, and the entire Dharmanagar city will be crowded," he added, stating that he expects a turnout of approximately 15,000 to 20,000 supporters.

Earlier on January 5, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha addressed a memorial meeting organised by the BJP Tripura State Committee in Agartala in memory of the late former Tripura Legislative Assembly Speaker Biswa Bandhu Sen.

Paying tribute to the veteran leader, the Chief Minister on Sunday recalled Sen's contribution to Tripura's legislative traditions and his role in strengthening democratic values in the state. He said Biswa Bandhu Sen was known for his discipline, simplicity and commitment to public service, which earned him respect across party lines.

It's sad that the by-election had to happen because of Biswa Bandhu Sen's passing. He was a respected leader across parties. The new candidate should try to uphold that legacy of discipline and service, not just make political boasts. 🙏

BJP's organizational strength is unmatched! If the CM himself is giving a booth-level roadmap, then the result is a foregone conclusion. Congress-CPIM alliance is too weak here. Lotus will bloom for sure! 🪷

Expecting 15,000-20,000 supporters for a nomination filing is quite a claim. Hope this energy translates into actual voter turnout and development work later. The focus should remain on 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'.

As a Tripura resident, I've seen BJP's work. They have momentum. The opposition needs to put up a strong candidate and a clear vision if they want to save their deposit. Right now, it looks one-sided.

Democracy needs a strong opposition. Wishing for a candidate's deposit to be forfeited isn't a healthy sentiment, even if you are confident. A good fight on issues benefits the people of Dharmanagar the most.
