AGARTALA, July 5 (TIWN): Major changes in the BJP party likely soon amid political crisis has hit the BJP and IPFT parties both. BJP's ally IPFT also held Central Committee meeting to control the damage repair after one MLA has quitted the party. "Biplab Hatao, BJP Bachao ', the slogan which had rocked the party in past few months is still activated through ongoing internal clashes. It has now rattled the party further, weakening its ally IPFT Party too. Biplab Deb who turned the center-point of national media headlines many times was never for a positive reason but always he has been criticized due to illogical comments and gaffes. The way Biplab Deb lost the image through the gaffes, simultaneously he has continued a brutal regime inside the state. Decisions like ordering lathi-charge on agitating teachers, shutting down media, year-wide arrests of netizens have been the biggest blunder in his style of ruling and that style has not yet changed as every night there are attacks in opposition houses via BJP workers and police can't take any action if the attack is done by BJP. In 3.3 years, the downed popularity was credited further by Biplab Deb's Dictator style of ruling and his funny image.

Brishketu Debbarma is now under observation of the ruling BJP, IPFT, trying to convince him to keep him in the party though Brishketu Debbarma clearly said that he will not join the IPFT again even if the party urge him to do so.

23 MLAs of Tripura BJP have remained against Chief Minister Biplab Deb during National  BJP Secretary B.L.Santhosh's visit, a source has said. The national leader also submitted a report to the Central BJP in this regard who had visited Tripura on June 16 and held phases of meeting with MLAs, Ministers. As per the source, out of 36 MLAs of the BJP party only 12 MLAs have directly supported Biplab Deb.

On the other hand, Biplab Deb through MLA Kalyani Roy asked all MLAs, Ministers in an urgent meeting at Secretariat on Saturday and it was warned indirectly that if anyone does not attend the meeting, then to be ready for "no ticket" for the next poll. Still the majority of the MLAs were not present in that meeting and the news of Biplab Deb's urgent meeting had gone to Delhi also. 

On June 28, BJP national leader Fanindranath Sarma also had reached Tripura and held a meeting with BJP MLAs in the presence of CM Biplab Deb, though maximum BJP MLAs were absent at Krishnanagar party office meeting. 

On the other side, relation of BJP with IPFT is also not at good stage and IPFT leaders were invited in Delhi by BJP leadership in this purpose.   Taking the opportunity of BJP's infighting, Trinamool Congress is trying to make its place in Tripura and already thousands of ex-BJP members joined Trinamool Congress. Basically, what is going on "inside" the Tripura BJP is just "clueless", but Anti-Biplab sentiment and resentment against Deb is high inside the party which seems far beyond repairing capacity.   On 16th June B.L.Santhosh had visited tripura but could not resolve the matter.
