Tripura Congress demands apology from CM Biplab Deb

AGARTALA: Tripura Congress has demanded an "unconditional" public apology from chief minister Biplab Deb for calling the Grand Old Party a "sly fox, thief and Satan". Congress has said that the use of such "unparliamentary" words was unbecoming of a leader of his stature. Addressing a gathering here a few days ago, Biplab had reportedly called Congress leaders "traitors" and a "band of Satan".
"CM Biplab Deb used objectionable words such as broker, sly fox and thief while speaking against the Congress and return of former BJP Tripura vice-president Subal Bhowmik to the party," a statement quoted Congress vice-president Tapas Dey as saying. The use of "indecent" words by the chief minister was "unbecoming of a leader of his stature", Dey added.
