Tripura should remove 'Manik' and wear 'HIRA': PM Modi

In an alleged reference to Tripura CM Manik Sarkar, PM Narendra Modi on Thursday said the people of Tripura had been wearing the wrong 'Manik' (gemstone) and should instead wear a 'HIRA'. Speaking at a rally in the poll-bound state, PM Modi said the HIRA he got for them stands for 'Highway, Information way, Railway and Airway'.
