Manik Saha named Tripura CM for second consecutive term

A spokesperson of the BJP informed reporters after the meeting that the selection was unanimously endorsed by all MLAs of the party.&nbsp;

Manik Saha was named as the next chief minister of the northeastern state of Tripura at a meeting of the BJP legislative party held here on Monday.
A spokesperson of the BJP informed reporters after the meeting that the selection was unanimously endorsed by all MLAs of the party.
Earlier, there was speculation that Saha, who was made the CM last year in a brand renewal exercise replacing Biplab Kumar Deb, may make way for Union minister Pratima Bhowmik as the chief minister of the sensitive border state.
The swearing-in of the new chief minister will be held on March 8. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to be present at the event.
In the recently held elections, the BJP won 32 seats of the 60-member Assembly while its ally- Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) - won one seat.
Assam Chief Minister and NEDA head Himanta Biswa Darma had visited the state on Sunday to measure the water and held meetings with the Chief Minister and senior party colleagues on the possible formation of the next cabinet.
Party sources said, Sarma also had a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Sunday over the composition of the cabinet and its leader to ensure a smooth transition.
BJP national president JP Nadda and Chief Ministers of several BJP-ruled states are expected to also join the swearing-in ceremony.

'Disappointing': Congress after poor performance in 3 northeastern state polls

The Congress has termed its performance in Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland assembly elections as disappointing. 

Congress general secretary communications Jairam Ramesh said the party would soon assess the assembly poll results and take corrective measures to strengthen the organisation.

The Congress on Thursday said the assembly election results in the northeastern states of Tripura, Nagaland and Meghalaya were "disappointing" for it, but touted its victory in three assembly bypolls in as many states as "encouraging".
Congress general secretary communications Jairam Ramesh said the party would soon assess the assembly poll results and take corrective measures to strengthen the organisation.
"Our performance will be strong five years later," he said, pointing to the fact that the party fielded youth candidates in the northeastern states this time with an eye on the future.
The party won just five of the all 60 seats it contested in Meghalaya and failed to open its account in Nagaland where it fielded candidates in 23 out of 60 seats.
In Tripura where the Congress contested the election in alliance with the Left parties, it contested in 13 seats and bagged just three seats out of a total of 60.
The BJP and its alliance partners returned to power in Tripura and Nagaland. The National People's Party is the single-largest party in Meghalaya and the BJP is likely to support it in government formation.
Ramesh said the party has done well in by-elections in West Bengal, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu where its candidates won seats which were traditionally held by its rivals, but the performance in the assembly polls in the three northeastern states were disappointing.
He said the Congress won the Sagardighi assembly bypoll in West Bengal, Kasba Peth in Maharashtra and Erode East in Tamil Nadu.
Ramesh said the party won its first seat in the West Bengal Assembly and wrested the Kasba assembly constituency in Maharashtra from the BJP after almost 30 years and termed the victories "very encouraging".

Tripura Election Results: BJP ready to accept most demands of new party TIPRA MOTHA

The BJP on Thursday said it was ready to accept all demands of Tipra Motha, except for Greater Tipraland, if the new party led by former royal Pradyot Debbarma extends its support.
Speaking to PTI, state BJP chief spokesperson Subrata Chakraborty said his party was marching to form the next government in the state.
"We are forming the next government in the state as we have been saying since the beginning. Two central leaders -- Phanindranath Sarma and Sambit Patra -- are here to oversee the situation, and hopefully, more central leaders will be arriving today," he said.
On the possibility of taking the support of the Debbarma-led party, he said, "Except Greater Tipraland, the BJP is ready to accept all their demands."
Among others, the Tipra Motha is demanding a separate state of 'Greater Tipraland' for the indigenous population of Tripura.

The BJP in alliance with regional parties secured a historic win in Tripura in 2018 and it is expected to come back to power when votes are counted today but with a slimmer margin, according to the exit poll predictions. The newly-formed TIPRA Motha which is headed by former Congress leader Pradyot Debbarma is likely to emerge as kingmaker in the state and may upset BJP's re-election party.&nbsp;

His statement comes after BJP, which has retained power in the state, said that it is ready to accept all demands of the TIPRA MOTHA if it extends support. TIPRA MOTHA focuses on tribal issues and had demaned a separate 'Greater Tipraland' for indigenous people of Tripura. The BJP has said that it will accept all demands except 'Greater Tipraland'&nbsp;

Many of the BJP's promises are aimed at providing greater autonomy to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council.

Tripura Elections: How BJP manifesto is trying to neutralise TIPRA's tribal call, Congress-Left tie-up

Many of the BJP's promises are aimed at providing greater autonomy to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council.

In 2018, the Bharatiya Janata Party stormed to power in Tripura for the first time, with the help of ally IPFT. The saffron party ended 25 years of continuous rule by the Left front.
However, less than a year before the next Assembly elections, the BJP changed the state Chief Minister, with Biplab Deb resigning and making way for Manik Saha. The change was seen by many as an admission of anti-incumbency.
Now the party is facing an alliance of the Congress and Left, a relatively new party - TIPRA Motha - hoping to capture tribal votes, and a foray into the state by West Bengal's ruling party Trinamool Congress. The BJP's manifesto has attempted to address the challenges posed by the varied Opposition.
Here are some highlights.
The biggest focus in BJP's vision document is the tribal community, with the party promising more legislative, executive, and financial powers to the autonomous tribal council if it wins. The BJP also said it would place IGP-level officers in tribal council areas for the effective maintenance of law and order. Also, tribal courts would be set up in TTAADC areas to preserve customary laws and traditions.
On the financial front, the party promised population-wise fund allocation and their timely transfer to the tribal council. A new Maharaja Bir Bikram Manikya Tribal University and the addition of the tribal language of Kokborok to CBSE and ICSE curricula are also part of the promises.

Among the larger promises, the BJP said that it would implement a ₹5 meal-for-all scheme, named after Anukul Chandra. Every girl child would get a ₹50,000 Balika Samriddhi bond. If BJP is re-elected, its government would add ₹2,000 to the ₹6,000 given to farmers under the PM-KISAN scheme by the Central government.
Also, a new Regional Institute of Medical Sciences would be set up in Agartala. On the economic front, industry-specific manufacturing zones would be set up for rubber, agar, and bamboo.
BJP's critics have accused the ruling party of being silent on the creation of jobs, as well as pension and Dearness Allowance (DA) hikes for more than 1.8 lakh government employees.

Tripura polls: celebrations at BJP office as CM Manik Saha wins seat

Saha had only 10 months as the chief minister of the northeastern state after replacing Deb but managed to lift the state government&rsquo;s image before the February 16 assembly polls

Manik Saha, tipped to be Tripura&rsquo;s chief minister for a second term, on Thursday defeated Congress&rsquo;s veteran leader Ashish Kumar Saha, by a margin of 1,257 votes from Town Bardowali despite detractors within his own party predicting a &ldquo;tough time&rdquo; for him in the prestigious constituency. From Saha joining the saffron party in 2016 to being made chief minister last year in a brand renewal exercise, it has been a short but upward journey for the 69-year-old dental surgeon-turned politician.
After BJP&rsquo;s ideological mentor RSS found out that the previous chief minister Biplab Deb had cost the party a loss in popularity by his brash actions and poor law and order record, alienating many of the saffron party&rsquo;s supporters, the party big-wigs decided on Saha, a quite and unassuming politician over several other potential rivals including union minister Pratima Bhowmik.
The man who BJP has built up as `Mr Clean&rsquo; took over as chief of Tripura&rsquo;s BJP unit in 2020 and then did a short stint as a member of the Rajya Sabha from April 3 to July 4 last year.
The ride for the greenhorn politician who had earlier been a Congress loyalist has been a dream one in the last six years or so.
Saha, who is an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist, had won the Town Bardowali seat, located outside the state capital city Agartala, in a by-poll in 2022. Before joining politics, Saha used to teach at Tripura Medical College located in Hapania.
He had only 10 months as the chief minister of the northeastern state after replacing Deb but managed to lift the state government&rsquo;s image before the February 16 assembly polls.
The &ldquo;gentleman politician&rdquo; did his schooling in Tripura in the early 1970's and then went on to do his higher education in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

Tripura polls 'largely violence-free', says Election Commission

The poll panel said minor instances of violence which were reported were promptly looked into by local teams.

The Election Commission on Thursday said the Tripura assembly polls remained "largely violence-free", with Bru migrant voters being able to exercise their franchise for the first time in many years.
The tentative voter turnout was recorded at around 80 per cent. Final turnout figures will be known by Friday, it said.
No complaints have been received so far by the EC demanding repolling, EC officials said.
"There have been no reports of any major violence or attack on candidates or (polling) agents, intimidation of voters, throwing of bombs, repoll (or) damage to EVMs. As against 168 repolls in the state in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, today's polls in 60 assembly seats in Tripura have been largely peaceful with no (demand for) repoll reported so far," the poll panel said.
"Minor instances" of violence which were reported were promptly looked into by local teams, it said.
For the first time in many years, Bru migrant voters were able to exercise their franchise. Special efforts were made to enrol voters from the Bru community. Some 14,055 eligible Brus were enrolled in the state in 12 locations. They cast their votes at these locations spread across four districts.
A 25-fold increase in seizures amounting to Rs 44.67 crore was recorded this time as against the 2018 assembly elections, when the figure stood at Rs 1.79 crore.
Increased seizures were witnessed under all heads -- cash, liquor, drugs, precious metals and freebies.
The EC referred to a statement of Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar that violence before, during and after elections is left only in a few states and there is no place for poll violence in a democracy.&nbsp;

Making a veiled reference to Tipra Motha, Modi claimed that some other parties were also helping the opposition alliance from behind but any vote for them will take Tripura several years backward.

'Kushti' in Kerala, 'dosti' in Tripura: PM targets Cong-CPI(M) alliance

Making a veiled reference to Tipra Motha, Modi claimed that some other parties were also helping the opposition alliance from behind but any vote for them will take Tripura several years backward.

Lashing out at the Congress-CPI(M) alliance in Tripura, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the two parties fight &lsquo;kushti&rsquo; (wrestling) in Kerala and have done &lsquo;dosti&rsquo; (friendship) in the northeastern state.
Making a veiled reference to Tipra Motha, Modi claimed that some other parties were also helping the opposition alliance from behind but any vote for them will take Tripura several years backward.
&ldquo;Old players of misgovernance have joined hands for &lsquo;chanda&rsquo; (donation). Those fighting &lsquo;kushti&rsquo; (wrestling) in Kerala have done &lsquo;dosti&rsquo; (friendship) in Tripura,&rdquo; the PM said at an election rally in Radhakishorepur in Gomati district.
&ldquo;The opposition wants to divide the votes. Some small &lsquo;vote-cutter&rsquo; parties are waiting for the election results, hoping to get their price. Those out with dreams of horse-trading, lock them in their homes now itself,&rdquo; he said.
Addressing another election rally in Ambassa in Dhalai district earlier in the day, he alleged that the Left and Congress governments created division among tribals, while the BJP worked to resolve their issues, including that of the Brus.

&ldquo;The BJP is working for the upliftment of tribals across India. We have rehabilitated in Tripura over 37,000 Brus displaced from Mizoram. Our government has introduced tribal language Kokborok in higher education,&rdquo; he said.
In the Union budget, the BJP government at the Centre has allocated Rs 1 lakh crore for the development of tribal areas, Modi said.
