New Delhi, May 15: Manik Saha will be sworn in as Tripura’s eleventh chief minister at the Raj Bhawan in Agartala on Sunday. The swearing-in ceremony of the council of ministers will take place at 11:30 a.m., according to news agency ANI.
On Saturday, Saha was named Tripura’s chief minister, hours after Biplab Kumar Deb resigned from the position a year before the state’s assembly elections.
Saha is a member of the Rajya Sabha from Tripura and the state’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit president. His profession is that of a dentist.
After leaving the Congress in 2016, Saha joined the BJP. He was elected to the Rajya Sabha in March this year after becoming the saffron party’s state unit president in 2020.
Following Saha’s appointment as chief minister, the BJP reformed its Tripura committee on Saturday with some new faces. The committee will now consist of seven vice presidents, three general secretaries, six secretaries, and seven spokespersons, according to reports.
Saha is projected to lead the BJP to victory in the 2023 assembly elections in Tripura, when it will face off against Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC).
