Agartala, Aug 02: Emphasizing the significance of booth-level work to secure victory in upcoming elections, Tripura Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha on Wednesday urged the party Karyakartas to focus on their efforts at the grassroots.
Addressing an organizational meeting at Kamalpur Mandal of Dhalai District, the Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has changed the definition of politics.
Dr. Saha said, organizational meetings should be held at the booth level on regular basis to create awareness about what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done for the country including Tripura. This will be the easiest way to strengthen our party.
Dr Saha mentioned that the state government has hiked the social pension to Rs. 2000.
“We should remind the people of this benefit again. We need to create booth level awareness about the benefits of various schemes. BJP is a party with discipline and is different from other parties. If we can take notes of our meetings and important points date-wise, it will be really helpful for us," he added.
Around 6700 special executives and 1000 women constables would be recruited soon, the Chief Minister said.
"We have also allocated funds for infrastructure to attract investors. For health development, over Rs. 1700 crore was allocated and around 100 new PHCs will be set up,” said Dr Saha.
The Chief Minister also stated that PM Modi's government has been running for nine years without any corruption and the Tripura government is also following the same path and working in a transparent manner.
Later, addressing another organizational program at Surma, the Chief Minister said, "Elections in two Lok Sabha seats will take place soon, but where are the opposition political parties? They are still sleeping. We have already intensified our work. When they heard about 'Pristha Pramukh,' they didn't understand it, and while they were trying to understand it, we won the elections in 2018. We have shown them that the BJP is a party with a difference."
BJP state president Rajib Bhattacharjee and other local party leaders were present in the organizational programmes.
