Agartala, Dec 11: When the north-eastern state sees a political turmoil over Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb's holding the position, a majority of state MLAs and ministers have vouched faith in the CM and said they wanted him to continue in his post.

The assertion on Thursday came after Deb said he would hold a "public mandate event" in Agartala on December 13, claiming that he would resign if he was rejected.
However, the even has been cancelled after the central BJP stepped in two days ago and asked him not to hold a public meeting next week to seek the "people's mandate" on whether he should continue as CM.
