At least 7 MLAs from the Tripura BJP have called for the resignation of Tripura CM Biplab Kumar Deb, calling him dictatorial, inexperienced and unpopular. The BJP MLAs, who are camped at the party’s headquarters in Delhi, are demanding a meeting with the party’s national leadership on the issue.
The BJP MLA led by Sudip Roy Barman, claims to have the support of at least two more MLAs in the house, which has 36 BJP MLAs out of 60, Indian Express reported.
The seven MLAs housed in Delhi reportedly include Sushanta Choudhary, Ashish Saha, Ashish Das, Diwa Chandra Rankhal, Burb Mohan Tripura, Parimal Deb Barma, Ram Prasad Pal, and Sudip Roy Barman.
According to Sushanta Choudary, Birendra Kishore Deb Burnam and Biplab Ghosh are also with the seven MLAs, but the two were unable to come to Delhi due to Covid-19.
Meanwhile, the MLA in support of Tripura CM said there was no danger to the state government. Tripura BJP President Manik Saha said: “The government is safe and the seven or eight MLAs could not overthrow the government.”
In response to the accusation of the 7 members of the court, Saha said that he has not listened to their complaints. He added that in the BJP, members do not discuss issues outside the party.
According to sources, Ram Prasad Pal is unlikely to go with the MLA. BJP sources said that CM Biplab Deb is trusted by PM Modi.
The MLA rebels, on the other hand, have demanded an audience with BJP Chairman JP Nadda and Interior Minister Amit Shah. The MLAs add that they also wish to meet with Prime Minister Modi and brief him on developments.
Choudhary said the rebels have no complaints against the party or the central leadership. “We are committed to the ideology of the BJP and loyal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Choudhary said.
