Tripura has seen the creation of huge employment opportunities in non-government sectors and an immense scope of entrepreneurship over the past two years since the second BJP-led government was formed in 2023, Chief Minister Manik Saha said on Sunday.

"A huge employment opportunity in non-government sectors and scope of entrepreneurship have been created in two years," Saha said in an interview to UNI.

Saturday was the second anniversary of the formation of the government after BJP retained power in the north-eastern state.

BJP came to power in Tripura in 2018 by ending 25 years of CPI(M)-headed Left Front rule. Biplab Deb was then sworn in as the Chief Minister, but the party high command replaced him with Saha in 2022. Under Saha's leadership, BJP won the Assembly polls in 2023, and he took oath as CM for the second time on March 8 that year.

The dentist-turned-politician said a transparent recruitment policy saw 5,972 regular employment in government departments in the last two years, while another 8,252 were under process.

Saha said Tripura's growth has seen a significant push following the implementation of inclusive development plans of the second BJP-led government.
