In a bid to galvanize voter sentiment, he distributed copies of an letter scribed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, rallying support for the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (prosperous India).

In a social media update, Saha underscored his grassroots engagement, affirming, “To bolster BJP’s fortunes in the parliamentary race, I personally traversed three precincts of Kanchanmala under the aegis of Golaghati assembly constituency today. The unwavering faith of the populace in Modi ji is palpable, and I am sanguine that BJP will surmount the monumental 400-seat threshold in the Lok Sabha elections.”

Amidst fervent canvassing, Saha fervently implored constituents to cast their votes in favor of BJP’s nominee and erstwhile chief minister, Biplab Kumar Deb, for the West Tripura seat. Interacting fervently with villagers, the chief minister endeavored to glean their aspirations and concerns, with the local BJP contingent noting the warm reception accorded to him, symbolized by the resonating echoes of conch shells.

Subsequently, the spotlight will shift to the Tripura East Lok Sabha seat, with elections slated for April 26, heralding a pivotal juncture in the democratic tapestry of the state.
