Tripura BJP President Rajib Bhattacharya today accused the Tipra Motha Party of prioritizing personal and political gains over public welfare, while asserting that the BJP aims to lead the administration in the upcoming Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) elections.

Speaking at an election campaign event, Bhattacharya highlighted that the TTAADC polls are scheduled for April 12 and emphasized that voters will support BJP candidates to ensure progress in the district council.

“The current Tipra Motha administration has been in power for five years but has largely failed to deliver. Their actions have mostly served political and personal interests,” Bhattacharya said. “The BJP believes not just in dialogue but in tangible development for the tribal communities. We also urge everyone to allow karyakartas to attend meetings freely, as any obstruction is unacceptable. In 2026, the BJP will take charge of the district council to ensure real progress.”

Bhattacharya further criticized the Tipra Motha Party for claiming that the Tripura government has not provided sufficient funds. He questioned why key projects, such as the Khumulwng hospital with an allocated Rs 40 crore and a proposed smokehouse, remain incomplete.

He also pointed to the previous CPI(M)-led administration, accusing it of failing to address tribal concerns and using the community for vote bank politics. “True development for the tribal population is possible only under the BJP government, guided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha,” he added.
