Tripura CM Dr Manik Saha reaffirms focus on development, warns against tarnishing efforts, and vows strict action against coercive politics to ensure a fair environment.
Agartala (Tripura) June 5: In a resolute address, Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha emphasized his government’s unwavering commitment to development while issuing a stern warning against those attempting to undermine its efforts. Highlighting the importance of maintaining a fair and conducive environment for progress, he made it clear that any actions crossing acceptable boundaries or resorting to coercive politics would face strict consequences, underscoring the administration’s resolve to foster inclusive growth and stability in the state.
Pointing out that days of politics through cunning are gone, he said, “This government has given development as one of its top priorities. However, some people are still trying to tarnish the government. But there is a limit to everything. If anyone goes beyond the limit, it will not be tolerated under any circumstances.”
“We want to go along with everyone. But if anyone doesn’t want it, there is nothing to be done. Politics by force will not be accepted under any circumstances. Simplicity doesn’t mean that we will accept it if anyone says anything. Therefore, whatever needs to be done will be done strictly. We want a fair environment to prevail here. And people to live in a fair environment. Development is underway in the state now,” he said.
The Chief Minister made the statements while virtually inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of several development projects at the Gitanjali Auditorium in Kumarghat, Unakoti district.
Dr Saha also said that the present state government has worked on infrastructure development worth about Rs 578 crore from January to May of this year.
The Chief Minister inaugurated 10 projects virtually from this place and laid the foundation stone of 5 projects.
At the event, Dr. Saha said that after the present government came to power, the amount of DA for the employees has been increased.
“No one had to tell anyone about this. We are trying to give DA as much as we can. So much good work has been done in our two districts of Gomati and Dhalai, due to which both districts have been awarded because there is no alternative to work. Kumarghat, Dharmanagar, and Udaipur railway stations in the state are being modernized with central funding.
Although the MLA told me that this work is being delayed, I will talk to the Union Minister about this. We do not want to do it the way the previous governments of the state have worked. We want to do more work for the overall welfare of the people. Earlier, we saw only corruption and corruption. After Narendra Modi took charge as the Prime Minister in 2014, the country is gradually moving forward. He is strengthening the country,” said Dr. Saha.
He said PM Modi has given a befitting reply to the terrorists through Operation Sindoor.
The Chief Minister said that if there is law and order in the state and stability, there will be development.
“Development is happening here constantly. The state is developing in all aspects including the health sector, agriculture sector, sports sector. This is possible because the people have support for this government,” he said.
Modern and citizen-friendly infrastructures are being built in every district and sub-division of the state to make development all-encompassing.
