TMC issue: Investigation underway, says CM

Chief Minister Prof. Dr Manik Saha on Sunday said that an investigation is going on over alleged involvement of some teachers of Tripura Medical College (TMC), Hapania for providing extra facilities to some students to clear examination papers.

Regarding allegations about Tripura Medical College, Dr Saha, who also holds the Health portfolio, said, “When I received the information, I instructed that action be taken as per the law. If such things are happening, they must stop. However, we cannot accept this, and an investigation is underway.”

He said hat the BJP and the state government will organize two separate state-level events to mark the completion of two years of the present government, with central BJP leaders likely to attend.

Speaking to the media, Dr Saha said that on March 2, in 2023, the election results were declared, and the BJP secured a spectacular win. 

"That day was a nostalgic moment. Many people had said many things, claiming that the BJP would not return to power and would not secure victory. In 2023, CPIM and Congress joined hands, but the people did not accept it, and we emerged victorious. We are representatives of the people, and we want to thank them. Though we formed the cabinet on March 8, keeping this in mind, a state-level program will be held at Rabindra Shatabarshiki Bhavan from the government’s side. Additionally, from the party’s side, another program will be held, where thousands of Karyakartas will join the celebration. I am hopeful that the achievements of the BJP government will be discussed. We are in touch with the central leadership and awaiting confirmation," he said.
