Agartala, May 4: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Monday termed the Bharatiya Janata Party\u2019s (BJP) strong performance in West Bengal as \u201ca victory of the entire nation,\u201d linking the outcome to broader issues of national security, economic stability, and governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on the sidelines of a BJP victory rally in Agartala, Saha said the mandate was \u201cnot just Bengal\u2019s victory, but India\u2019s victory,\u201d adding that it reflects public support for development, stability, and stronger governance. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s leadership, along with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J.P. Nadda, for steering a coordinated nationwide campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saha highlighted the extensive involvement of party leaders and workers, including those from Tripura, in campaigning across West Bengal. He claimed that early trends indicate a strong pro-BJP sentiment across regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking aim at previous governments, Saha alleged that West Bengal had suffered from \u201cyears of corruption and administrative decline\u201d under both Left and Trinamool Congress regimes. He accused them of failing to ensure transparency, democratic rights, and women\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Praising the Election Commission of India, Saha said the polls were conducted in a \u201cfree and fair\u201d manner, contrasting them with past elections he claimed were marred by irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On national security, he reiterated concerns over illegal infiltration from Bangladesh and said the BJP remains committed to strengthening border security and addressing undocumented migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drawing comparisons with Tripura, Saha pointed to the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission after 2018 as an example of governance reforms that could benefit West Bengal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also welcomed BJP\u2019s emphatic lead in the Dharmanagar by-election, calling it a strong endorsement of the state government\u2019s policies. Saha said the NDA\u2019s growing presence in states like Assam and Puducherry reflects expanding national support, expressing confidence in sustained political momentum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
