Tripura: BJP confident of victory in TTAADC polls, to contest all 28 seats independently

Tripura BJP announces 28 candidates for TTAADC polls, confident of victory despite alliance partners contesting separately. CM Saha and state chief express optimism.

"I urge the voters to support these candidates to fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision - Rajib Bhattacharjee"

Agartala, March 25

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Tripura has exuded strong confidence ahead of the upcoming Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council elections, scheduled to be held on April 12.

Reacting to the poll preparations, Tripura BJP chief Rajib Bhattacharjee asserted that the party is fully geared up to secure a decisive victory across the ADC areas. Despite being part of a coalition government in the state, the BJP has decided to contest all 28 constituencies independently.

Speaking to ANI, he said, "Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced the names of 28 candidates for the 28 centres in the upcoming Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) elections. I urge the voters to support these candidates to fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of "Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas" and "Ek Bharat, Shreshth Bharat" along with CM Manik Saha's vision of "Viksit Tripura, Ek Tripura, Shreshth Tripura."

Addressing a joint press meet alongside Chief Minister Manik Saha and other senior leaders, Bhattacharjee announced the list of 28 party candidates and expressed optimism about winning with a huge margin. He emphasised that the party's organisational strength and development agenda would resonate strongly with voters in the tribal regions.

Notably, while the BJP shares power in Tripura with allies like the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) and the Tipra Motha Party (TMP), all alliance partners are contesting the TTAADC elections separately this time. The IPFT has also fielded its own candidates for the polls.

Both CM Manik Saha and BJP state president Rajib Bhattacharjee, in separate interactions, have reiterated that although the alliance remains intact in the government, the parties have strategically chosen to fight the ADC elections individually.

The BJP leadership maintained that the party is confident of expanding its footprint in the TTAADC and securing a strong mandate in the April 12 polls.

The TTAADC elections are being viewed as politically crucial, with the BJP aiming to improve its performance and expand its footprint in the tribal belt. Chief Minister Manik Saha has earlier stated that the party is targeting all seats in the ADC elections.

Contesting independently when you're in an alliance for the state government? This sends a confusing message to voters. 🤔 Feels like political opportunism rather than a stable partnership for tribal welfare.

Strong move! The tribal council needs a party with a clear national vision and the ability to deliver. Modi ji's vision of 'Sabka Prayas' is exactly what Tripura needs. BJP will win big! 🇮🇳

As someone from the Northeast, I hope this election is about local issues - land rights, preserving culture, and creating jobs. Parties should compete on these, not just empty slogans. Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Interesting political strategy. Going solo in the council polls while maintaining the state coalition. Shows the BJP is playing the long game to consolidate power at every level of governance in Tripura.

The real test will be on April 12. Tribal voters are very aware and have their own aspirations. Hope the elected council, whoever wins, works for the people and doesn't get stuck in Agartala's politics.
