Agartala: Mar 09: BJP national president J.P. Nadda addressed a massive rally in Agartala, celebrating the second anniversary of the BJP government in Tripura. He highlighted the shift in India's political landscape since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, noting that the "anti-incumbency factor" has given way to a "pro-incumbency" mindset, with voters repeatedly choosing the BJP in elections.

Nadda emphasized the party's ability to fulfill the hopes and aspirations of the people, pointing to BJP's electoral success over the years. He noted that the party secured 17 crore votes in 2014, increasing to nearly 24 crore votes in 2024. Nadda attributed the party's consistent wins in states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Tripura to the BJP's focus on service rather than the pursuit of power.

The BJP President praised the Tripura government's achievements in various sectors, including social welfare, tribal development, agriculture, education, healthcare, and infrastructure. He announced two new schemes aimed at empowering girls in the state: Mukhyamantri Balika Samriddhi Yojana (MBSJ) and Mukhyamantri Kanya Atmanirbhar Yojana (MKAY).

Under MBSJ, a Rs 50,000 bond will be deposited for every girl born to a Below Poverty Line (BPL) family, maturing into Rs 10 lakh at age 18. MKAY will provide scooties to 140 meritorious girls. Nadda also lauded the BJP-led government for reducing crime by 20% and boosting Tripura's economic standing.

In conclusion, Nadda emphasized the state's progress in organic farming and overall development under Chief Minister Manik Saha's leadership.
