The Chief Minister of Tripura, Manik Saha , has accused the previous Left Front government of promoting foreign ideas and concepts in the state. Speaking at an event in Agartala, the Chief Minister claimed that the previous government had “shoved foreign ideas” into the minds of the people of Tripura and had neglected the state’s rich cultural heritage.

In his speech, the Chief Minister emphasized the need to preserve and promote the state’s indigenous culture and traditions.
According to the Chief Minister, the previous government had focused too much on promoting foreign ideas and concepts and had ignored the need to preserve the state’s unique cultural identity.

The Chief Minister also highlighted the role of the “Tripura Sundari Utsav” in promoting tourism in the state and attracting visitors from across the country. He urged the people of Tripura to take pride in their cultural heritage and to work towards preserving and promoting it for future generations.
