Agartala, Jul 7 (PTI) The BJP-led coalition government in Tripura would fast track recruitment drive in the state and would fill up all the vacant posts in the government, a senior party leader said on Thursday.

The two-day BJP state executive meeting is seen as important in the backdrop of next year’s Assembly elections.
Chakraborty said heads of the party’s frontal organisations tabled their reports in the meeting highlighting the latest organizational position.
It was decided that all the wings of the party from booth level to mandal to district and frontal organizations will implement the programmes in a time-bound way , he said.
All the district committees will hold meeting on July 10 while the mandal level conference will be held on July 17 and seven frontal organizations will complete their meeting on July 19, he said.
