“I congratulate Biplab Kumar Deb and his Council of Ministers on assuming the baton of new government  to run the first ever BJP-led government in Tripura. I hope the new government would work to fulfil the aims and aspirations of all sections of the people of Tripura,” Sonowal said.

He also said  that Assam government and the new government in Tripura would work  to strengthen the age-old bonhomie between the two states and friendship and camaraderie among the people of both the states.
