Politics of scams, appeasement, replaced by development, innovation: CM

Chief Minister Prof. Dr Manik Saha on Friday said that earlier people had witnessed politics of corruption, scams, and appeasement, but now the present central and state governments are working for development, innovation, and inauguration.

Dr Saha made these remarks while addressing an event on the occasion of 11 years of ‘Seva, Sushasan, and Garib Kalyan’ at Shantirbazar in South District.

“We have witnessed the work of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the past 11 years. Before 2014, the condition of India was not good. We should not forget history. When Pakistan launched multiple attacks and insurgency incidents occurred in the North East, no one took responsibility. But the situation changed after Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014. Everyone knows the condition of Gujarat, but due to PM Modi, the situation changed, and he presented the Gujarat model. Now, the entire world is looking at India,” said Dr Saha.

He said that everyone had seen how religion-based politics was once practiced in India, but PM Modi emphasized the development of the poor, farmers, youth, and women as essential for the progress of the country.

“PM Modi always thinks about people from all sections and implements various schemes. His contributions will be written in golden letters in the history of India. He has protected us, boosted the economy, developed technology, and has given us so much,” said Dr. Saha.

Dr Saha said that the present government is working for everyone and wants to stay connected with the people.

“Earlier, we witnessed politics of corruption, scams, and appeasement. But now, the central and state governments are focused on development, innovation, and inauguration. During the Left Front government, around 69 people were killed in Santirbazar under South District, but since the BJP government came to power, not a single political murder has taken place. We have seen a government of scams, murders, and rapes in the past,” he added.

He further stated that due to PM Modi’s efforts, India’s economy has improved from the 11th to the 4th position globally.

“PM Modi has taught people what performance means and how to work for the nation. Tripura might be a small state, but we are the second-highest in per capita income in the North East. There has been a 67% increase in per capita income across the country,” he said.

During the event, BJP General Secretary Bipin Debbarma, MLAs Pramod Reang and Swapna Majumder, South District BJP President Dipayan Chowdhury, and others were present.
