AGARTALA: Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb sparked a fresh controversy on Saturday evening when he revealed BJP’s alleged ambition to form a governments in neighbouring Nepal and Sri Lanka.
He was addressing a gathering during a thanksgiving to the Centre for the Budget at Rabindra Shatabarshiki Bhawan.
“Amit Shah, who was then the BJP national president, had told us that the party was planning to expand its footprint and establish it’s rule in Nepal and Sri Lanka during a close interaction with several leaders at the state guesthouse here,” Biplab claimed.
Lauding the Union Budget of the next financial year, Biplab said: “It is a step towards the making of an ‘Atmanirbhar South Asia’. The policies and actions of India have been able to make Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal self-reliant. The Narendra Modi-led-government wants ‘Sab Ka Sath, Sab Ka Vikas’ (inclusive development for all).”
