It’s party’s ploy to weaken dissident camp and strengthen organisation ahead of Assembly elections, say sources
After completing Cabinet expansion in Tripura, the BJP is now set to appoint Speaker. Incumbent Rebati Mohan Das on Thursday resigned from his position citing personal reasons. He submitted his resignation letter to Deputy Speaker Biswabandhu Sen. The name of former Minister and senior BJP MLA Ratan Chakraborty is doing the rounds for the post. Sources in the BJP said the resignation of Mr. Das was part of party’s ploy to weaken the dissident camp and strengthen the organisation ahead of the Assembly elections due in early 2023. They said the parry is seriously working to make the organisation strong up to the booth level to take on both the CPI(M) and the Trinamool Congress, the latter has set its eyes on Tripura.
