Agartala: In a major development from north eastern state Tripura, Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Saturday resigned from his post. His resignation came just 10 months ahead of the assembly polls which may witness triangular contest this time as the ruling BJP, left and TMC have started poll preparations.
The Tripura CM on Saturday had met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and had said to discuss issues related to development and orgasation. “Honoured to meet Home Minister of India Adarniya Shri @AmitShah ji at New Delhi today. We had in-depth deliberations regarding development works and organization.”
While the actual reason behind the move is yet to be known, Deb, who was in Delhi, has returned to Agartala and has confirmed that he has put in his papers. Meanwhile, even Cabinet ministers are clueless. Union minister Bhupendra Yadav and BJP general secretary Vinod Tawde are likely to reach Agartala to finalise new chief minister from elected MLA.
