Agartala. There is a BJP-led government in Tripura. There is a tussle between the ministers in Tripura regarding the allocation of departments. Even before the recent Lok Sabha elections, Tipra Motha Animesh Debbarma, a minister in the BJP-led government in Tripura, had expressed displeasure over the allocation of departments. He has once again expressed displeasure over the allocated departments. He also said that he will also raise this issue before the Union Home Minister.

Speaking to reporters, Debbarma said he had already raised the issue with Chief Minister Manik Saha. "I am not happy with the portfolios allotted to me. Forest department is okay, but printing and stationery and science and technology (except TREDA)... I am not happy. I met the chief minister a few days ago and requested him to allot some important portfolios to me so that I can help the rural people. There is nothing to hide," he said on Tuesday.

I am not against the government'

Debbarma said he will soon go to Delhi and meet Shah to congratulate him for taking over the Home portfolio again and raise the issue with him. "I have been in politics for the last 22 years. Many MLAs get many things even after completing only five years in politics. If I don't get (important portfolios) then it is okay. I am not against the government but I have to work," he said.
