Tripura CM Manik Saha forecasts NDA to clinch 90% of village committee seats

Tripura's Chief Minister Manik Saha publicly projected that the National Democratic Alliance will win at least 90 percent of the seats in the state's village committee elections, which are slated to be held later this year. The statement was made during a press briefing in Agartala, where the CM highlighted the alliance's grassroots outreach. Village committees form the lowest tier of local self‑government in Tripura, handling issues such as water supply, sanitation and community development. A strong showing by the NDA in these bodies could translate into broader political influence across the state. Saha's confidence reflects the alliance's strategy to consolidate support in rural areas ahead of the upcoming polls, though opposition parties have yet to comment on the projection.
