AGARTALA, Feb 8 (TIWN): After Tripura Cabinet Reshuffling news was published in state and national media stating that Centre is unhappy over few Ministers' performances, the Law Minister Ratanlal Nath has visited West Dist Court and spent time with Bar Association members. Addressing media, Ratanlal Nath said that as he was not visiting the Association office for many days, thus has decided to meet the members personally. He inspected the court premises, noted down the infrastructural crisis. On being asked by media about the reason behind this visit, Nath said, "I did not visit the Bar Association for a long time. They went to me but I told them that I will personally visit there. There are lot of crisis in the Bar Association and we have to work on that. Still now, the Bar's land is under Govt but now a legal solution should come out of that either via lease or allotment. This land should be given to bar". However, it was shown as a Govt visit as the top bureaucrat of the subdivision remained present with Ratanlal Nath. This visit was held after news came that by February month, Tripura cabinet may be expanded to fix the poor Governance under Biplab Deb and bad performance by some of the Ministers.
Tripura BJP has been suffered from massive infighting due to Biplab Deb's dictator style of controlling party and the Governance, sacking of Sudip Roy Barman from the cabinet led BJP's majority to revolt against Biplab Deb. On the other side, the Congress party has signaled that a major number of BJP MLA who joined BJP from Congress will return to Congress. In this condition, Centre had summoned Biplab Deb this week. Deb has returned state after meeting.
Along reshuffling , vacant posts may also be filled up, said sources. In party level also reshuffling is expected.
Biplab Deb's handpicked persons have been appointed in party allegedly without quality of leadership. By this time, many prominent leaders have quitted either politics or the party. Tripura BJP's founding leader Prasenjit Chakraborty who was beaten severely by Biplab Deb's goons has been the major example of party's infighting.
