“Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working towards administering the country like Ram Rajya, where justice reaches the last mile and people have the opportunity to express their opinions. Our government is also endeavoring to follow his lead in governing the state,” said Saha during the 52nd Statehood Day program held at Rabindra Bhawan in Agartala.

He called upon the citizens to support Modi’s initiatives to strengthen both the country and the states.

Four additional national highways are in the planning stage, and the commencement of Indo-Bangla railway connectivity is imminent, according to Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha.

He emphasized that Tripura is poised to become the gateway to Southeast Asian countries, especially with the operationalization of Maitri Setu in Sabroom, South district. This bridge will provide direct access to the Chittagong sea port in Bangladesh. Saha attributed the realization of these developments to the leadership and initiatives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He expressed that the government is exerting maximum efforts to ensure the safety and protection of the state. Emphasizing the unity of the people, he affirmed, “We are Indians,” and underscored the value of every individual life, stating that each life is precious.

He mentioned that over the recent years, the government has demonstrated its dedication to inclusive development, striving to bring progress uniformly across the state without creating distinctions between hills and valleys.

These efforts led to the state securing the top position in the India Today survey for three consecutive years.
