Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, speaking at an election rally in Kerala, encouraged voters to shift towards a development-focused approach, citing Tripura’s transformation under BJP rule as a model for Kerala. He criticized the existing political landscape in Kerala, accusing both the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) of perpetuating corruption and misrule. Saha highlighted Tripura’s political shift in 2018, emphasizing the BJP’s commitment to eradicating corruption and fostering prosperity.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Saha urged Kerala to align with a development-driven governance model, emphasizing the need to break the cycle of corruption prevalent in the state. He underscored Tripura’s progress in various sectors under BJP governance, including infrastructure, housing, sanitation, and connectivity in remote areas. Saha also criticized the management of temple affairs in Kerala, pledging the BJP’s dedication to safeguarding cultural heritage and ensuring transparent administration of religious institutions.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the BJP, is contesting all 140 Assembly seats in Kerala, with the BJP fielding candidates in 99 constituencies. Saha’s visit to Kerala signifies a strategic effort by the BJP to engage party workers and voters in key constituencies ahead of the upcoming polls. In the 2021 Assembly elections, the BJP secured the second position in nine constituencies, indicating a growing support base among the electorate.
