Tripura, April 30: Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb is in the habit of making bizarre and meaningless comments. The recent one being, wherein a video which has surfaced online, Deb says, anyone issuing a threat against his or interferes, their nails should be chopped off. Deb gives a weird comparison between a bottle gourd (lauki) and his government, where he says, "When a bottle gourd comes in the market, everyone presses it with the nail to see if it is fresh or not. Same is the thinking of the people towards government. At 8 am, the vendor brings a fresh bottle gourd but by 9 am it gets rotten due to repeated nailing. The vendor had to feed it to the cow or take it back home. It should not happen with my government. There should be no interference in my government. If someone pokes or interferes, his nail should be chopped off. No one can touch my government. Government is not Biplab Deb, here government is public."

Watch video, where Biplab that threatens to chop off nails of anyone poking at his government: 

Reportedly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah has summoned Deb on May 2 in the national capital. PM Modi has asked party leaders to refrain from making "irresponsible" statements, saying such comments hurt the party's image.  Deb last Thursday, faced immense flak when he questioned the 'beauty' of Diana Hayden, the former Miss World. From giving his views on government jobs, milking cows, internet in Mahabharata era, Deb is considered as internet's favourite controversy child.
