Agartala, Nov 10 :Tripura Social Welfare and Social Education Minister Tinku Roy on Monday campaigned door-to-door in support of BJP candidate Shibani Sinha in Ward No. 17 of Kailashahar Municipal Council, seeking votes ahead of the November 27 urban local body elections.

He said the state government was pursuing a long-term development agenda and called for its continuation at the local level through elected representatives committed to the same vision.

During the door-to-door campaign, Roy and other party leaders also interacted with residents to understand their concerns regarding local infrastructure and the delivery of civic services.
Residents reportedly raised issues relating to basic amenities and municipal facilities, following which BJP leaders assured them that their concerns would be taken up with the appropriate authorities.
The campaign is part of the BJP’s efforts to strengthen its grassroots presence and reach out to voters across different wards of Kailashahar ahead of the November 27 elections.
