According to Modi, the 2018 Tripura elections is a historic event that would be always discussed by Indians. He said,”In the history of India, there are some elections that will always be discussed. The 2018 Tripura elections will be one such example. People will continue to discuss these polls. Ours is a new and fresh team. In age too, our team is younger. They have Anubhav, we have Umang and Utsah. We have to work together for the progress of Tripura.”
Modi further went on to say that the 2018 elections had renewed focus on the Northeast which is a positive sign as more people will come to know about the region. He also said that his government is always ready to serve the people of the region. “Since 2014 I have visited Northeast several times, our Ministers have visited several times. All of this is not for elections. It is to serve the people of this region. There are so many opportunities in the Northeast,” he added.
The Prime Minister also sought for the opposition’s support, while requesting their help to guide the newly formed government.
