Chief Minister of the Indian State of Tripura, Biplab Deb says Indian Home Minister Amit Shah has planned for the Bharathiya Janatha Party to expand to Sri Lanka. At a BJP event in state capital Agartala, Biplab Deb said the party has plans not only to expand across the country but in neighbouring nations as well.
Biplab Deb said Home Minister Amit Shah has plans to set up BJP governments in Nepal and Sri Lanka.
During a pep talk with the party workers, the Chief Minister shared a conversation he said he had while preparing for the Tripura assembly election in 2018. The BJP defeated the Left Front government in the state eventually.
Biplab Deb said Amit Shah, who was then BJP chief, during a meeting spoke about “overseas” expansion after winning in all the states in India.
“We were talking in the state guesthouse when Ajay Jamwal (northeast zonal secretary of BJP) said that BJP formed its government in several states. In reply, Amit Shah said that now Sri Lanka and Nepal are left. ‘We have to expand the party in Sri Lanka, Nepal and win there to form a government’,” Biplab Deb said of the conversation he claimed they had then.
Biplab Deb praised Shah’s leadership for making the BJP the “world’s largest party”.
