Tripura CM Biplab Deb to Bring Vajpayee's Ashes to Tripura and Immerse in Major Rivers

Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, paying homage to late former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, says that the last remains of the political legend will be brought to Tripura to New Delhi. It is only after that, the leaders of the political party will wash the ashes in the major rivers of the state.

Remembering the departed leader, the Tripura CM said that Vajpayee was the “greatest leader” of Bharatiya Janata Party. He also mentioned that “his loss is irreplaceable. We shall bring his remains to Tripura. BJP Karyakartas will wash them in River Gomati, Howrah and all major rivers of the state as respect to his soul.”

Expressing his party’s decision to hold a month-long series of events to commemorate the late former prime minister, Biplab said that washing the ashes of the departed soul would be a sign of their respect for the leader. He conveyed that through the month-long event to be observed in the state, they want to spread the message of his life and teachings to the last person.

A meeting with booth-level workers from Banamalipur assembly constituency has already been held by the CM regarding the process to commemorate the leader.

There are ten major rivers in the state including Gomati, Howrah, Manu, Juri, Dhalai, Khowai, Muhuri, Feni, Juri and Deo.

Earlier, on hearing the demise of the senior-most BJP leader’s death at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi on August 16, the Tripura CM had stated, “Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a statesman beyond any comparison who selflessly dedicated his life for the development of our nation. Under his able leadership, BJP grew spectacularly across the country….Vajpayee ji held a special place in his heart for the North-East region.”
