Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha is leading a brisk campaign for BJP candidates in the byelection to two Assembly seats. The election in Dhanpur and Boxanagar constituencies in Sepahijala district is scheduled to take place on September 5.
The Chief Minister, accompanied by other senior BJP leaders, is routinely visiting both the Assembly segments. Dr. Saha is also joining door-to-door campaigns with party candidates.
The BJP nominated Tafajjal Hussain in Boxanagar, a Muslim-majority constituency, and Bindu Debnath in Dhanpur. The latter also has a considerable presence of Muslims as well as tribals.
