Armed with the gift of the gab, Tripura Tourism and Transport Minister Sushanta Chowdhury has made his mark as a star campaigner in this election season while canvassing support for the candidates of the ruling BJP.
Hitting the campaign trail more often than his Cabinet colleagues in BJP’s high-voltage electioneering, he has been a Minister of the BJP-led coalition government only for the last two years, but his oratory skills put him in high demand in the party’s public meetings.
Despite losing his father recently, the 44-year-old leader has shouldered responsibility to campaign mainly in West Tripura Lok Sabha constituency and Ramnagar Assembly constituency in Agartala, where a byelection was necessitated due to the demise of seven-time MLA Surajit Datta. Both the elections will be held simultaneously on April 19.
