Following the naming of Saha as the new chief minister of Tripura, the BJP refurbished the party’s Tripura committee by adding some fresh faces. Reportedly, the committee will incorporate seven vice presidents, three general secretaries, six secretaries, and seven spokespersons.

Sharing the revised list of office bearers and spokespersons, Saha tweeted, “Congratulations to all concerned revised state office bearers of BJP Tripura,".

As Tripura's new chief minister, BJP expects Saha to steer the party to victory in the 2023 assembly elections.
