AGARTALA, Jan 6 (TIWN): After IPFT President N C Debbarma met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, media raised question in BJP Press conference, “Everytime it happens that BJP leaders say that they oppose the Tipraland but NC Debbarma says Central Govt’s support is there with Tipraland. What is the exact stand of BJP in Tiprland issue”. In reply Biplab Deb clearly said, “If NC Debbarma has said that Central Govt supported Tipraland, it’s fake. With Rajnath Singh and PM Modi there was no talk about Tipraland at. It was totally based on socio-economic development". "From Brinda Karat to CPI-M leaders are trying to paint the issue in totally wrong way. Tribals of Tripura didn’t participate in Independence movement of India and thus PM Modi’s meeting with them was just an attempt to bring them in the mainstream. There was no discussion about Tipraland but just a discussion on socio, economic, cultural issues”, said Subal Bhowmik, a BJP leader of state Tripura. Since yesterday after the photos of PM Modi's meeting with regional parties were exposed, the issue was raised.However, Subal Bhowmik further said, “CPI-M has only used the tribal sentiment but never tried for their developments. The word terrorism was introduced in Tripura by CPI-M since 1993".

Question was also raised about the CMP committee and the purpose of it. Subal Bhowmik said that there is no link on Tipraland but just to hold talks on socio, cultural developments the committee was formed.

The BJP leaders also hit the CPI-M Govt for creating ATTF like organizations.
