During this five years regime of BJP-led government in Tripura, each and every house has received the benefits of governments led by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Prof Dr Manik Saha. BJP will be brought into power with huge margin and re-establish government in Tripura for the second time.”
