Tripura Rolls Out New Tourism Projects as Saha Cites Gains and Alliance Strains Intensify

The Opposition says his claims mask a rift with Tipra Motha before March's TTAADC polls.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Manik Saha laid foundation stones for the Tripura Heritage Village, a Sangeet Experience project, and an amusement park at Sachindranagar under Swadesh Darshan 2.0.
  • Saha said foreign tourist arrivals are rising, claimed Tripura ranks second in GSDP growth and per‑capita income in the Northeast, and cited NITI Aayog recognition as a front‑runner state.
  • He said the government is considering a dedicated Tourist Police for key sites and announced a Rs 57.14 crore SIDBI cluster fund to support small industries.
  • The CM argued the TTAADC lacks all‑round development despite an allocation he put at about 39% of the 2024‑25 outlay and highlighted 2,499 tribal joiners to the BJP at a party event.
  • CPI(M) Leader of the Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury accused Saha of spreading falsehoods to divert attention from BJP–TMP friction and rejected his allegation linking the Left to insurgency.
