AGARTALA, March 9 (TIWN): Amid majority of the BJP MLAs are against Biplab Deb and want CM's replacement, Biplab Deb has been courting another heated argument with his own party BJP's ST wing Janataji Morcha leaders including Deputy CM Jishnu Debbarma. Deputy CM Jishnu Debbarma avoided media and showed disinterest to talk about this issue but BJP MP Rebati Tripura, who is known for his clear and bold speech has told media that BJP does not want to walk much with the issue with IPFT as IPFT already announced 18 seats without even discussing with BJP. Biplab Deb asked the BJP members, MLA to compromise with IPFT and to go ahead with "Friendly Election Fight". Then Rebati Tripura told Biplab Deb, if IPFT wanted a friendly fight why did they not announce 28 seats ? Why 18 ? "CM said that he was told by the Central BJP but we also have placed our stands. IPFT first announced candidates' names and now pushes us for talks. No solution has come out yet however", Rebati Tripura told the media. 

IPFT recently had violated the alliance with BJP by aligning with another regional party and then announced 18 seats without talking to the BJP. Till late night, a meeting was held in the Chief Minister's residence but there was no solution to the matter.
