Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb has stirred a controversy after he claimed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has plans to establish Bharatiya Janata Party government in Nepal and Sri Lanka.
On Saturday, Deb visited Tripura and said, Shah had told a party meeting at Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhawan that after winning all states in India, the BJP will try to make inroads in the neighboring countries.
“We were talking in the state guest house when Ajay Jamwal, North-East Zonal Secretary of BJP said that BJP has formed its government in several states of India, in reply Shah said, ‘Now Sri Lanka and Nepal is left. We have to expand the party in Sri Lanka, Nepal and win there to form a government’,” Deb said while quoting Shah.
The chief minister said it was only under Shah’s leadership that the BJP could become the world’s largest party.
He affirmed that the BJP will emerge triumphant in all states that go to polls in the coming months. The people of Bengal will soon say goodbye to Mamata Banerjee as both Modi and Amit Shah have reached the state, Deb said. He also said that, this time the government in Tamil Nadu will be formed by the BJP only, Lotus will bloom across the country.
As for Kerala, Deb said the flip-flop style government of Pinarayi Vijayan would also end this time as his party has started working to come to power in the state.
Meanwhile, the Communist Party of India and the Congress demanded action against Deb and sought a clarification from the central leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party about the conversation he had with Shah
