Tripura Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Manik Saha on Tuesday said that the presence of a massive crowd in the election rallies confirmed the party candidates' victory in the northeastern state's two Parliamentary seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
Addressing election rallies at Jolaibari and Sabroom in southern Tripura, CM Saha said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, unprecedented development took place in his state and good governance is now at the doorsteps of each household.
"Like 2019, we would once again give two Lok Sabha seats from Tripura to the Prime Minister as gifts from the state," he stated.
Later, he said on X: "This huge gathering of Modi Parivar at Sabroom, South Tripura echoed our slogan of AbKiBar 400 par."
Without naming Congress and CPI-M, he said parties that are promoting their families and backing violence and corruption are now united against the BJP.
Saha said that earlier violence and killing of people were the day-to-day affairs and now, "they came together and said that they are fighting to protect democracy".
"They have been doing drama and trying to dupe the people ahead of the elections," PM Modi said, urging the people to have trust in the "Modi Guarantee".
Referring to Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22, Saha said that PM Modi fulfilled the dream of crores of people in India and abroad after over 500 years.
