Tripura CM Accuses TTAADC of Fund Misuse as BJP Ramps Up Campaign

Manik Saha's charges and voter outreach signal an intensified bid to wrest control of the autonomous council.

Overview

  • At a rally in Unakoti, Saha labeled the Tipra Motha–run council a "centre of loot" and cited a missing utilisation certificate for Rs 30 crore sanctioned for a hospital.
  • He questioned how officials’ foreign trips were financed and alleged 123 village committees were created without due process, delaying grassroots elections.
  • Saha rejected the 'Greater Tipraland' demand, saying it misleads indigenous voters with claims of territory extending into Bangladesh, Pakistan, Assam and Mizoram.
  • BJP organisers said 215 voters from 57 families formally joined the party during the event.
  • The chief minister promoted transparency, welfare spending and a possible expert panel on the Kokborok script, predicted a sweep of all 28 council seats, and no response from Tipra Motha was reported.
