Former Tripura Chief Minister and BJP MP Biplab Kumar Deb launched a sharp attack on the All India Trinamool Congress on May 5, calling the party a “gone case” and claiming that it is “finished” following the recent West Bengal Assembly election results.
Deb made the remarks after arriving in Agartala to offer prayers at the Tripura Sundari Temple. The BJP leader also served as co-in-charge for the party during the West Bengal Assembly elections.
Speaking to reporters, Deb said the election outcome had exposed the weakening political position of the Trinamool Congress. He claimed that the people of West Bengal had shown a desire for political change and stronger governance.

The remarks come amid heightened political exchanges between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress after the recently concluded Assembly polls in West Bengal.
Biplab Deb Attacks Trinamool Congress
During his interaction with the media, Biplab Kumar Deb criticised the Trinamool Congress leadership and questioned the party’s future political relevance. He alleged that the election results reflected growing public dissatisfaction with the ruling party in West Bengal.
Deb stated that the BJP had managed to strengthen its position despite intense political competition. According to him, the results demonstrated that the BJP’s support base in West Bengal had expanded considerably.
The former Tripura chief minister claimed that the Trinamool Congress no longer enjoyed the same political strength it once had. Therefore, he described the party as a “gone case” and asserted that its political influence was declining rapidly.
He also praised BJP workers and leaders for their efforts during the election campaign. Deb reportedly said party workers remained committed despite facing several political challenges during the polls.
Political observers noted that the comments reflect the BJP’s aggressive political strategy in eastern India, particularly in states where the party aims to expand its influence further.
BJP Continues Focus On West Bengal Politics
The BJP invested heavily in the West Bengal Assembly elections and deployed several senior leaders to strengthen its campaign machinery. Biplab Kumar Deb served as one of the co-in-charges for the BJP during the polls.
Party leaders conducted extensive rallies, public meetings, and organisational campaigns across different districts of the state. The BJP focused strongly on issues related to governance, development, corruption allegations, and law and order.
Although the Trinamool Congress retained power, BJP leaders have continued claiming that the election results reflected growing support for the party in West Bengal.
Deb reportedly argued that the BJP’s rise in the state marked an important political shift. He stated that the party would continue strengthening its grassroots network and organisational structure in the coming years.
Observers believe West Bengal remains politically significant for the BJP due to its strategic importance in eastern India and its large electoral influence.
Visit To Tripura Sundari Temple
After arriving in Agartala, Biplab Kumar Deb visited the Tripura Sundari Temple to offer prayers. The temple remains one of the most important religious sites in Tripura and attracts devotees from different parts of the country.
Officials stated that Deb prayed for peace, prosperity, and development in the region. His visit also drew attention from BJP workers and local supporters who gathered during the occasion.
Political leaders in the Northeast often combine religious visits with public outreach activities, especially during politically active periods. Observers noted that such visits frequently help leaders maintain direct engagement with supporters and the broader public.
Deb reportedly interacted with local party members and discussed organisational matters during his stay in Tripura.
Political Tensions Continue Between BJP And TMC
The political rivalry between the BJP and the All India Trinamool Congress has intensified significantly over recent years. Both parties have frequently targeted each other over governance, corruption allegations, political violence, and electoral strategies.
The BJP has repeatedly attempted to expand its political presence in West Bengal and other eastern states. Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress has accused the BJP of using aggressive political tactics and polarising campaigns.
Political analysts believe the rivalry between the two parties is likely to continue ahead of future elections. West Bengal remains one of the key battlegrounds where both parties aim to consolidate support.
Observers also pointed out that statements made by senior leaders often form part of broader political messaging designed to energise party workers and influence public opinion.
The latest comments by Biplab Kumar Deb are expected to trigger fresh political reactions from Trinamool Congress leaders.
BJP Eyes Stronger Presence In Eastern India
The BJP has been working steadily to expand its organisational reach across eastern and northeastern India. Party leaders believe the region holds major political importance due to its growing electoral significance.
In recent years, the BJP has strengthened its position in several northeastern states through alliance-building, welfare initiatives, and organisational expansion. Leaders have also focused on infrastructure development and connectivity projects to strengthen political support.
Observers believe the BJP will continue prioritising West Bengal as part of its long-term electoral strategy. Senior leaders have repeatedly stated that the party aims to emerge as a stronger political force in the state.
At the same time, the Trinamool Congress continues attempting to defend its political dominance and maintain support among voters in West Bengal.
Political Debate Likely To Continue
The remarks made by Biplab Kumar Deb have added to the ongoing political debate surrounding the recent West Bengal Assembly election results. BJP leaders continue presenting the outcome as evidence of the party’s expanding influence in the region.
Meanwhile, political observers believe the Trinamool Congress will strongly counter such claims and continue projecting itself as a dominant regional force.
As political competition intensifies ahead of future elections, both parties are expected to maintain aggressive campaigns and public messaging strategies. The latest comments from Deb underline the sharp political rivalry that continues to shape electoral politics in eastern India.
