Tripura Minister Ratan Lal Nath on Tuesday demanded a public apology from Leader of the Opposition in Assembly Jitendra Chaudhury for allegedly making "objectionable and derogatory" remarks against Biplab Deb and other BJP leaders.
Agartala:Leader of the Opposition in Tripura Assembly, Jitendra Chaudhury, sparked a row by stating that "taller a person, dumber he is", with the ruling BJP demanding his public apology claiming it was a jibe at former chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb, who had courted controversies several times for his remarks during his tenure.
At six feet, Mr Deb is taller than other politicians of the state.
Addressing a party function in South Tripura's Harina on Sunday, Mr Chaudhury, who is also the CPI(M)'s state secretary and politburo member stated, "The more in height a person is, the more of a fool he is." His remark was seen by the BJP as an ostensible jibe at West Tripura MP Deb, who was the chief minister from 2018 to May 2022.
