Tripura's Cabinet Expansion: A Strategic Political Move
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha is set to expand his 11-member cabinet, currently with a vacant post. This move follows the BJP's 2023 election victory and collaboration with the Tipra Motha Party. An invitation for a swearing-in ceremony at Agartala's Darbar Hall has prompted political speculation.

Tripura is on the brink of a political development as Chief Minister Manik Saha prepares to expand his cabinet on Thursday, according to official sources. The move comes as the BJP-led coalition government looks to strengthen its presence in the northeastern state following their successful return to power in the 2023 assembly polls.
The invitation sent for a swearing-in ceremony scheduled for July 3, 2025, at Darbar Hall has heightened expectations of a cabinet expansion. Saha, alongside Governor N Indrasena Reddy, met this week, raising further speculation despite Saha's refusal to comment on the matter.
Currently, Saha leads an 11-member cabinet, which includes members from BJP, Tipra Motha Party, and the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura, with one vacancy still open. The proposed move could bolster political alliances as the state prepares for upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
