“I have reached Silchar to seek the blessings from RSS chief and listen to what he has to say rather than me talking about any issues,” said Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb.

Deb was in Silchar on Sunday to meet RSS chief Mohan Bhagawat who is on a three-day visit to the region.

“This is not a political platform rather a venue where RSS pracharaks coming from far and wide would meet Mohon Bhagwat ji and listen to what he has to say,” he added.

“I can share a thing or two once I meet him personally, ” Deb clarified the media when asked about CAB and NRC.

West Tripura MP Pratima Bhoumik has accompanied the CM to Silchar.

The duo was received by Cachar Deputy Commissioner Laya Madduri and the CM was later given a guard of honour at circuit house where he was received by Assam BJP president Ranjit Das.

On being asked if former Tripura Pradesh Congress president Pradyot Deb Barman would join BJP, Deb said, “The party would decide whether to take him or not.”

All eyes would be on Biplab Deb and Mohon Bhagwat’s close door meeting slated to take place later in the evening.
