In the hilarious side of the world of Indian politics, the one thing that always remains unchanged is Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb never failing to bring hilarious news to people.

Case in point, he recently revealed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has plans to 'establish Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments in Nepal and Sri Lanka', according to a report published by East Mojo.

Deb said that Shah had told a party meeting at Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan, during his visit to Tripura on Saturday, that BJP wanted to establish the party and form governments in neighbouring countries after winning all states in India. 

“We were talking in the state guest house when Ajay Jamwal (northeast zonal secretary of BJP) said that BJP had formed its government in several states of India. In reply, Shah said that now Sri Lanka and Nepal are left. We have to expand the party in Sri Lanka, Nepal and win there to form a government,” East Mojo quoted Deb as saying.

Well, people on Twitter were confused whether to laugh or smack their heads on a wall at this. 

Here’s how some of them reacted to this peculiar comment made by the CM:

Why not in Pakistan? Nation wants to know.

Or China

He is back with a bang! We sure need some good laughs in these otherwise grim times where a toolkit in your bike could land you in jail.
BTW he should persuade Shah to buy out Bangladesh Govt as well. As CM of a neighbor state, he could stand a chance to lead that country too.

Hailing Amit Shah’s leadership of the BJP, Deb said that it was under him that his party had become the world’s largest party, by breaking the records of Communists, who were known to make claims of being a global party. 

The Tripura chief minister further said that BJP was working in Kerala to end “flip-flop government” and to install a government headed by its leadership.

Similarly, he exuded confidence that people of West Bengal would bid goodbye to TMC leader Mamata Banerjee in the upcoming elections, and that “lotus will bloom” across the country, including in Tamil Nadu. 

Meanwhile, Opposition from the state has demanded clarification from the Central leadership of the BJP regarding the statements made by the chief minister of Tripura in a public meeting. 

CPI (M) leader and former MP Jitendra Chaudhary said that the chief minister does not have any understanding of the constitution and democracy. He added that Amit Shah’s statements, as claimed by Deb, amounted to the interference of India in the internal affairs of a foreign country.

The CPI (M) leader alleged that the home minister of India was engaged in a “state conspiracy against Nepal” and the evidence was given by no less than by a person holding a constitutional post in the state of Tripura. He further said that Deb’s statement cannot be taken casually and demanded a response from the BJP top leadership, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

Tripura Congress unit vice-president, Tapas Dey, said Amit Shah’s statements amounted to “imperialism”, which India had fought against for many years. He added that India cannot interfere in the sovereign affairs of Nepal and Sri Lanka.
