Lok Sabha MP from East Tripura seat Rebati Tripura refuted the speculations that he would also join dissident group Sudip Roy Barman and Asish Kumar Saha.
The social media on Monday afternoon went wild with the speculation as the MP was seen sitting with Roy Barman, Saha and others.
Later in the evening Tripura in a live video said that he coincidentally went to Delhi with the same flight in which the dissidents were also flying. In the airport lounge they invited the MP for a cup of tea.
“Since we were party colleagues for years and knew each other very well, I accepted the invitation and had a cup of tea with them. It does not mean I am also leaving BJP. I am very much a foot soldier of the BJP and people have bestowed on me important duties as a BJP MP and I am doing that. There is no question of leaving the BJP. Such speculations are uncalled for and unfortunate”, he said. The MP had gone to Delhi for attending the Parliament.
