Tripura: Biplab Kumar Deb takes oath as Rajya Sabha MP

First Published: 29th September, 2022 16:43 IST

In the recently held Rajya Sabha by-elections in Tripura, Deb got 43 votes while the opposition candidate Bhunulal Saha got 15 votes.

In presence of Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar, former Tripura Chief Minister and BJP leader Biplab Kumar Deb on Wednesday took oath as an MP of the Rajya Sabha.

In the recently held Rajya Sabha by-elections in Tripura, Deb got 43 votes while the opposition candidate Bhunulal Saha got 15 votes.

Soon after the oath ceremony, Deb took to Twitter and wrote, ‘Took oath as Rajya Sabha MP from Tripura in presence of Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar. I will be serving as the voice of the people of Tripura in the upper house.’

Deb’s popularity had earlier helped BJP to clean sweep the northeastern state marking a thumping victory in 2018. The 2018 victory overtook the Left’s rule of 25 years in Tripura.

On March 9, 2018, Biplab Deb took oath as the 10th Chief Minister of Tripura. He later stepped down from the state CM post on May 14 this year. Deb was then succeeded by Manik Saha who took oath as Tripura’s Chief Minister on May 15.

The by-poll for the Rajya Sabha seat was held on September 22 at Legislative Assembly in Agartala after it was vacated by Manik Saha.
