    Nadda To Address Rally In Tripura On June 18

    BJP national president J P Nadda is scheduled to visit Tripura to address a rally in Santirbazar area on June 18, a senior party leader said on Saturday.

    Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha and BJP state president Rajib Bhattacharjee have held meetings with party leaders to make the programme, which will mark the beginning of the party’s campaign for next year’s Lok Sabha polls, a grand success.

    The northeastern state has two parliamentary constituencies – Tripura West and Tripura East – both of which were bagged by the ruling party in the 2019 polls.

    “BJP national president J P Nadda is scheduled to visit the state on June 18 and address a rally in Santirbazar area in South Tripura district. The rally will be organised to celebrate the nine years of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre and measures taken for the poor since 2014 will be highlighted,” Bhattacharjee told PTI.

    He said the party is strengthening the party up to the booth level.

    Bhattacharjee said all party programmes in the state were suspended on Saturday as a mark of respect for the victims of the Odisha train tragedy and the organisational work for the Lok Sabha polls will resume on Sunday.]

    In the meeting attended by senior government officials, the CM highlighted that the safety of all students must be ensured. He also directed the officials to come up with a plan for the evacuation of students if the situation arises.

    To tackle the worsening law and order situation after tribal groups took out rallies in several districts of Manipur, the state government has suspended mobile internet for five days. Along with a ban on large gatherings, a night curfew too has been imposed in several districts of the state.

    Tripura CM Manik Saha Warns Troublemakers Of Stern Action If Found Indulging In Violence

    Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha warned troublemakers of stern action if they were found indulging in violence, irrespective of their political identities. Speaking at an event in Bishalgarh in Sepahijala district, the chief minister said the northeastern state has a tradition of unity and diversity, but people with “vested interests” were trying to divide society.

    “Be it culture or something else, nothing can be achieved without a proper law and order system”, the chief minister said on Sunday. Earlier too, Saha said, he had cautioned troublemakers that strict action would be taken against them, “but it did not work”.

    “Now is the time to switch over to an action mode to put things in the right direction. The police will act tough irrespective of political affiliations. “We want to set a precedent as far as peace, tranquility and unity among people is concerned ”, he said. Claiming that the northeastern state had not witnessed violence during Assembly polls this year but after the counting process was over on March 2, he said, it was allegedly “encouraged by a vested interest group”.

    “They are playing divide and rule card but have not succeeded so far. The government alone cannot strengthen the bond and it is the people who can contribute to this. We must take a resolution on the occasion of the Bengali New Year to remain united”, he said.
