Agartala, Aug 19 (UNI) Tripura celebrates the 114th birth anniversary of the last king of the princely state and architect of modern Tripura Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya in a befitting manner with a series of the colourful programme across the state on Friday to re-introduce Maharaja in the democratic setup.
Except for CPI-M all other parties including BJP and Congress paid tributes to the memory of the last ruler of the Manikya dynasty and propagated the development initiative of Bir Bikram, which is still playing the dominant role in Tripura's progress.
The right-wing parties tried to sway the sentiments of tribals especially the royal family keeping eyes on next year’s assembly poll.
