Tripura chief minister Biplab Deb is back in the news again. The 49-year-old, who has been at social media's receiving end for his comments, put himself in a spot while responding to a reporter's question on the series of lynchings in the state.“There is a wave of joy in Tripura and you should also enjoy this wave. You should also become happy. Look at my face... I am so happy,” Deb said in his reply. The CM, however, claimed he was misquoted and that the comment was in context to the Agartala airport.Tripura has witnessed three lynchings in the last week amidst rumours of child abductors and kidney smugglers.Those killed include a garment hawker from Uttar Pradesh who was rumoured to be a kidnapper, an unidentified woman and an anti-rumour campaigner hired by the police to caution people against fake news.Deb has been the centre of attention since he became the Chief minister. His claim to fame was the comment where he said internet and satellite existed in the times of Mahabharata . Deb so far has questioned the crowning of Diana Hayden as Miss World 1997, advised mechanical engineers to not opt for civil services and has even suggested graduates to open pan shops instead of looking for government jobs.
