A large group of ruling BJP workers of Tripura on Wednesday opened their gate at MLA hostels in Agartala, apologizing Congress MLA Sudeep Roy Burman and resigning on their remarks, “BJP leaders urged the tribals”.
“As an MLA, he should immediately resign to hurt the dignity of the tribals,” BJP’s tribal leader Bipin Deberma told reporters.
Tribal Affairs Minister Bikash Debbarma and BJP state president and Rajya Sabha MP Rajab Bhattacharji also condemned Burman’s remarks in the ambassador on Tuesday.
While Debbarma warned that the Congress leader should face legal action. If he did not apologize, Bhattacharjee said that the comment reflected the mentality of the opposition party on the tribals.
The tribals in Tripura never received respect and dignity before the BJP came to power. The airport is named after Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Manik (last king of Tripura). We have found a governor in Tripura for a tribal leader, a tribal leader of Tripura (former deputy CM Jishnu Debarma). Giving? “The minister of tribal affairs said.
Deberma further said that Burman’s remarks hurt tribal sentiments.
In Dhalai, Rajib Bhattacharjee accused Sudeep Roy Burman that he helped the communists to remain in power during the long left rules, and he said that he had never worked for the tribals.

For his share, Sudeep Roy Burman said, “I did not build any report, but just said the fact that BJP Kayakartas urinated the tribals in Madhya Pradesh. The reality is that the BJP is that the BJP hates the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, OBCs, minorities, etc. how can someone else less someone else?” Congress leaders were referring to an incident in Sidi district of Madhya Pradesh, where Pravesh Shukla, allegedly a BJP worker, urinated on a member of the Kol Tribe last year.
A large -scale security bandobest was built in front of the MLA hostel, but the protesters postponed the barricades by raising slogans against Sudeep Roy Burman.
Superintendent of Police of West Tripura Kiran Kumar said that the situation was brought under control.
