"The people of Tripura will forever remain grateful to Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji for his visionary HIRA model," Saha said, adding that the initiative had helped transform the state from being "landlocked" into a "vibrant gateway to Southeast Asia through modern infrastructure, enhanced connectivity, and expanding opportunities."
Highlighting the broader transformation of the region, he added that under the PM's "far-sighted" leadership, "the North East has secured a significant place in the mainstream of India's development journey."

Under his visionary leadership, the resolve of building a Viksit Bharat and Atmanirbhar Bharat is steadily transforming into reality."

The greetings came as PM Modi completed 4,399 days in office, officially surpassing the previous record held by India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.

I appreciate the development, but why does every state CM have to make such a big deal out of it? Yes, PM Modi has done some good work, but the constant hero-worship from his own party leaders feels like a distraction from real issues. Just my honest opinion. 🙏
Mata Tripura Sundari's blessings are with him! The connectivity from Agartala to Bangladesh and beyond is actually improving trade. We used to feel so cut off from the rest of India. Now flights to Delhi are regular and trains are running. It's a big change. Proud of this progress. 🙏
I'm not Indian but I've been following this. It's interesting how a national leader gets so much regional praise. In Canada, our PMs rarely get this level of state-level adulation. Though I guess if results are there, credit is due. Is the HIRA model really that effective?
Viksit Bharat 2047 is a nice vision, but ground-level issues like unemployment and inflation still hurt ordinary people. Infrastructure is good, but we need jobs too. Still, credit where due—NE connectivity has improved massively. Just wish the benefits reached everyone equally. 🤔
As someone from Tripura, I can say the change is real. Roads that were dirt tracks are now proper highways. The internet has reached villages. Yes, there are issues but compared to even 10 years ago, it's like a different state. HIRA model might be jargon but the work speaks for itself.
