The Rift in the Tripura BJP has widened after former Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb voiced his concern over ‘interference’ by outsiders in party affairs. He said he has already told the party high command about ‘matters of concern’ and stated that he was ready to discharge any fresh responsibility in the State.
The Rajya Sabha Member and BJP Observer for Haryana made a brief visit to the state capital on Sunday to speak his mind about party matters in Tripura. He flew back to the national capital in the evening.
Earlier in the day rumours were doing the rounds that a number of state ministers and leaders would hold a meeting at his official residence in Agartala which is close to the residence of Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha. However, the reported meeting turned out to be a hoax, but the former CM convened a press conference.
