Agartala (Tripura) [India], October 23 (ANI): Tripura Governor Indra Sena Reddy Nallu welcomed Goa Governor PS Sreedharan Pillai upon his arrival in Agartala on Wednesday evening.

According to Rajbhawan, the visiting Goa Governor was received with traditional hospitality at the Raj Bhavan. The officials from the Governor's Secretariat and senior state government representatives were also present during the welcome ceremony.

The Rajbhawan said that both governors are expected to discuss matters of mutual interest, including inter-state cooperation and cultural exchange, during the visit.

Meanwhile, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha inaugurated the newly constructed party office in the 12-Takarjala Mandal in the state on Wednesday. During the event, 200 families comprising 690 people joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), marking a significant boost to the party's grassroots strength in the region.

Addressing the gathering, Saha said, 'Under the guidance and inspiration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, we are tirelessly working for the overall development of our Janajati brothers and sisters.'

He also criticised certain individuals who, he said, are still engaged in divisive politics. 'Unfortunately, a few people continue to play divisive politics and conspiracies in the style of the communists. I want to warn them that there is no benefit in trying to mislead the tribal community,' the Chief Minister remarked.

CM Saha reaffirmed that the people of Tripura believe in peace, development, and democracy. 'The use of force will not be tolerated in any form in this state. If anyone tries to harm us, we will respond appropriately -- but through completely democratic means,' he asserted.

The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from local residents and BJP leaders, who expressed confidence that the new office would serve as a hub for strengthening the party's organisational activities in Takarjala and nearby areas. (ANI)
