The Union defence minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday appealed to the voters to bloom two lotuses in two separate assembly constituencies at Kailasahar and claimed that development is progressing rapidly in Tripura.
“Tripura is on the way to become number one state in the North-East region of the country,” he said while addressing the party’s campaign rally at Kailasahar in support of two candidates for two separate constituencies of Kailasahar and Chandipur – Mabasar Ali and Tinku Roy.
