Hang Vivekananda's Picture And BJP Will Rule For 30 Years: Biplab Deb

The BJP government in Tripura will remain in power for the next three decades if 80 per cent houses hang pictures of Swami Vivekananda and his message, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has said.

Addressing the members of the BJP Mahila Morcha, the women wing of the BJP, Biplab Kumar Deb asked party workers to spread the message of Swami Vivekananda and distribute his pictures to inspire the people of the state.

“I have seen, even in my village, people hanging pictures of communist leaders - Jyoti Basu, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong - in their drawing rooms. Could we not hang pictures of Swami Vivekananda? Our party will keep our ideologies and sanskars (values) - if 80 per cent of Tripura houses hang pictures of Swami Vivekananda, then this government will remain for another 30-35 years," Biplab Kumar Deb was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
