AGARTALA, Jan 15 (TIWN): While inaugurating Tripura Tea Garden Workers Cell, BJP State President Biplab Deb said that above 5000 tea garden workers will be recognized as Tripura's Permanent Residents after BJP comes in power.

Addressing the press, Party President Biplab Deb said that Tripura Govt calls the tea garden workers as Hindustani but never calls them as Tripura's residents. 

"Since many years, 58 tea gardens in Tripra left in deplorable shape. Many workers are from Jharkhand, Orissa but till day Tripura Govt has not recognized them as Tripura residents. Govt calls them as Hindustani. Hindustani is everybody but they are not Jharkhand residents, not Bihar residents but Tripura's residents", said Deb.

 "BJP will never call them as Hindustani but Tripura-Basi", added Deb.
