Agartala, June 10: BJP president Amit Shah will visit Tripura on June 18 to release the report card of the BJP-led government in the State with the completion of its 100 days in power.

The first BJP-led government in the State, which is in alliance with the Indigenous Peoples’ Front of Twipra, will be completing its first 100 days in office on June 16.
