Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb quoted mythological character ‘Vibhishana’ to warn his baiters, both in the government as well as the ruling BJP. He said ‘baiters’ have no place in the society.
Speaking to mediapersons in Agartala, Mr. Deb neither named ‘Vibhishanas’ nor indicated who they were, but said they would face the heat within two months from now. “They have to go away from the State, they have no place in our society”, Mr. Deb asserted.
Though he made a general statement, it was attributed to a few of his ministerial colleagues. The Chief Minister has been speaking hard against his alleged baiters ever since social media platforms and webzines published fake stories about his alleged bitter personal life and purported divorce suit in a court at Delhi.

Biplab Kumar Deb and his spouse came down heavily against circulation of fake news and even threatened to slap defamation case against those responsible. A freelance journalist was arrested and cases were registered against several individuals, including State Congress vice-president Tapas Dey, for posting fake news about the personal life of Chief Minister and his spouse.
The Chief Minister was also unhappy with some leaders and ministers for remaining non-functional during the election campaigns for two Tripura Lok Sabha constituencies.
Earlier, Bipalb Deb had quoted ‘surgical strike’ to hint actions he was contemplating against unnamed people in his party and the government.
