The BJP-led government in Tripura would remain in power for another 30-35 years if at least 80% houses in the state hung pictures of Swami Vivekananda along with his messages at their doors, said chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb.
Chief minister Deb urged members of the BJP Mahila Morcha to distribute pictures of Swami Vivekananda to every household in the state and ensure that they are put up at their doors.

“I have personally seen, even in my village, that the communist leaders have pictures of Jyoti Basu, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong in their drawing rooms. Their pictures were hung at the doors where we hang pictures of our gods.
“Did we hang pictures of Swami Vivekananda in our houses in the past two and a half years? Our party will keep our ideologies and sanskars (values) – If 80 percent of Tripura houses hang pictures of Swami Vivekananda, then this government will remain for another 30-35 years,” Deb said while addressing a programme of Mahila Morcha in Agartala on Wednesday.
“Swami Vivekananda said one should talk less, keep silence and concentrate on work. Our energy gets wasted if we talk too much. So, we should not waste our energy,” said Deb.
