Sounding the poll bugle in Tripura, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that violence is not the identity of Tripura anymore as “BJP has made the state free from fear and violence”.
While addressing a rally in Ambassa, PM Modi lashed out at the earlier rule of Congress and Left parties in the state and accused them of hindering the development here. He asserted that it was the BJP that has brought development to the northeastern state.
“Violence isn’t anymore the identity of Tripura. BJP made state free from fear and violence,” he said.
He went on to add, “Earlier police stations in Tripura were captured by the CPM cadre but now under BJP rule, there’s a rule of law in the state. Now, there’s women empowerment in the state & there is an ease of living.”
Talking about the development under the saffron party, PM Modi said, “5000 km of roads were built in Tripura to connect its villages. A new airport was also built in Agartala. Optical fibre and 4G connectivity being brought to villages. Now, Tripura is becoming global. We are developing waterways to connect the northeast and Tripura with ports.”
The Prime Minister further said that the BJP government is focusing on increasing the income of people in Tripura.
“Money has been transferred into the bank accounts of farmers under PM-Kisan. This amount will be increased once BJP comes back to power. Under our rule, farmers are reaping benefits of MSP,” he said in Ambassa.
After Ambassa, PM Modi is scheduled to address another rally in Gomati, which is likely to start at 3 pm. The Prime Minister is likely to visit Tripura again on February 13.
Elections to the 60-member Assembly in Tripura will be held on February 16.
