“Your constant affection, reassuring presence, and visionary leadership have healed old wounds and ignited new dreams in the hearts of our people. Tripura has found not just development under your guidance, but dignity, confidence, and hope for a brighter tomorrow,” he said in another post.

“I consider it an honour that our government received the opportunity to change this reality by bridging distances, strengthening emotional bonds and striking a chord with the people of this region,” the PM said.

“Over the last eight years, the double-engine governments, the NDA government at the Centre and your team in the state, have worked with dedication for Tripura’s transformation. This sustained effort is fully in keeping with the spirit of the historic mandate given by the people of Tripura in 2018 and 2023,” Modi said in a letter to Saha.
