The swearing-in ceremony of Biplab Kumar Deb will be attended by PM Modi (File)
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP Chief Amit Shah, and a host of BJP chief ministers across the country are among those who attended the grand ceremony. However, the Left Front leaders had said they will boycott the ceremony in protest against "large scare violence" in the state after the assembly elections that was held last month. However, outgoing chief minister Manik Sarkar attended the ceremony.
48-year-old Tripura BJP chief Biplab Deb spent 15 years away from Tripura, training under top RSS leaders in Delhi, before he was sent to Tripura in 2016. Outgoing Chief Minister Manik Sarkar will move to his new residence -- the CPI(M) state committee office today.
