Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb sparked a new controversy when he revealed Bharatiya Janatha Party’s alleged aim to form a government in Nepal and Sri Lanka, or at least expand BJP into India’s neighbours.
According to reports, during a party program in Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan on Saturday, the CM said that former BJP President Amit Shah during his visit to the state said that he plans to establish the party in bordering countries after acquiring most of the states in India.
“We were talking in the state guest house when Ajay Jamwal (North-East Zonal Secretary of BJP) said that BJP has formed its government in several states of India, in reply Shah said, Now Sri Lanka and Nepal is left. We have to expand the party in Sri Lanka, Nepal and win there to form a government,” Biplab Kumar Deb said quoting the Union Home Minister.
He also said that the BJP will change the old tradition that has been entrenched in Kerala for the last few years. If Congress had been in power in Kerala for five years in the past, the Left would have been in power for the next five years. The BJP will change this pattern. The party will soon contest in the southern states.
