AGARTALA, June 19 (TIWN): Turbulence in Tripura BJP continues amid speculation about BJP MLAs increasing contacts with the Trinamool Party. Sources say that even from both ruling and opposition parties, some top leaders in contact with Trinamool as amid BJP's undemocratic Governance and constant violence in state, no opposition party yet emerged with leadership and rather displayed it as victim where everyday party opposition workers are being attacked without any justice. Taking the opportunity of weak-opposition, Trinamool party is trying to make its place in Tripura politics. The BJP party is reeling under massive crisis here, as IPFT is also resented with the Govt and the core of resentment is rooted in Biplab Deb's failure, alleged arrogance, one-man centric administration and poor leadership which was getting fuel time to time due to Biplab Deb's irresponsible statements which turned national media headlines. After the meeting failed with Central leaders at Krishnanagar party office on 16th June, Dissident MLAs  reportedly were called to Guwahati and to hold a meeting with Himanta Biswa Sarma. 

Trinamool's Tripura state President Ashish Singha said that party supremo and Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and national General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee are eager to revive the party in Tripura and they would soon send some leaders to the state to further strengthen the organisation.  Strong speculations about fresh political development in Tripura are rife after Mukul Roy along with his son Subhrangshu Roy rejoined the Trinamool. Roy, before joining the BJP around four years ago, had often visited Tripura to supervise the Trinamool's organisational matters. 

Under Roy's influence, seven Congress MLAs led by Sudip Roy Barman and a large number of party leaders and workers joined the Trinamool in 2016 and next year, joined the BJP, boosting the political strength of the saffron party. All the seven were elected on BJP tickets in the 2018 polls and among them Roy Barman, Pranajit Singha Roy and Ratan Lal Nath made Ministers and Biswabandhu Sen appointed Deputy Speaker.  Roy Barman, son of former Chief Minister and Congress leader Samir Ranjan Barman, became the Health and Family Welfare, Information Technology and Science and Technology Minister, but as sacked in May 2019 following differences of opinion with Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb. 

At Least 11 BJP legislators and some party leaders led by Roy Barman and fellow MLA and former party Vice President Ram Prasad Paul went to Delhi in October last year to discuss "party affairs in Tripura with the central leadership".  Amid dissidence and discontent among a section of BJP leaders and legislators, Chief Minister Deb in December last year announced to take "public mandate" through a public gatherings in Agartala but subsequently with the request of the central and state leaders, the plan was called off.
