AGARTALA, Sep 5 (TIWN): Congress MLA Sudip Barman has refused to make any comment on Ratan Lal Nath’s recent statements on job-data and said, it will be prestige loss for Sudip Barman if he reacts even to Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath’s statement. Barman also raised doubt about whether Nath consumes ganja or not due to the over-cultivation effect of ganja in Mohanpur. Barman said, "Right now, huge ganja cultivations are happening in Mohanpur and might be due to the effect of the over-cultivation, Ratan Lal Nath is losing his normal state of mind".  

The statement came after TIWN journalist had asked Sudip Barman regarding Ratan Lal Nath's challenge to media on job data claiming BJP Govt has given more jobs than any other Govt in Tripura. Reacting to Nath's challenge Sudip Barman said so, refused to leave any value added comment against Nath's job data. 

Sudip Barman further said that earlier sacked CM Biplab Deb was the source of entertainment for the people, which had been taken up by Ratan Lal Nath.
