After resigning, Biplab Deb said he should work in the organization to form the BJP government in Tripura. “To strengthen the base of the BJP in the state, I have to work at the grassroots level in various sectors. I should work as a common Karyakarta (party worker) rather than being in the position of CM to train the BJP government in the coming assembly elections,” he said.
