NEW DELHI: Tripura Lok Sabha MP Pratima Bhowmik is among the 16 first-time members of Parliament to take oath as a minister in the Union Council of Ministers on Wednesday.
A BJP member since 1991, Bhowmik’s induction is a clear indication that BJP is preparing to retain the state it won for the first time in 2018, given that Chief Minister Biplab Deb is facing some dissent from within. TMC’s victory in Bengal and Mamata Banerjee’s attempt to revive the party’s fortunes in Tripura is seen as threat.
Post its Bengal victory, TMC has aggressively started campaigning in Tripura, prompting BJP to ensure that its strength on the ground is not diluted.
