Tripura Chief Minister Biplal Deb has stirred a controversy after he claimed the Indian Union Home Minister Amit Shah has plans to establish a BJP office in Sri Lanka in a bid to internationalise the Bharatiya Janatha Party. This was stated in Indian media reports.
The Tripura chief minister has claimed that Amit Shah had shared his intentions of expanding BJP to neighbouring countries during a party meeting in Tripura on Saturday.
The Tripura CM recalled a meeting with Shah, who was then BJP national president, ahead of the Tripura Assembly election in 2018 during which he had discussed the party’s alleged plan to spread its presence in the two neighbouring countries.
