Agartala: After the removal of Tripura Health Minister Sudip Roy Barman from the state cabinet, Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, on Sunday, said, "A leader should not forget the organization, which selects him as a leader and bestows responsibility on him."
Deb made these remarks while replying to a question about the reason behind Roy Barman's axing from the state cabinet.
On being asked to comment on Barman's claim that he was able to satisfy the public with his work but not the Chief Minister, Deb said, "It is a different issue that who satisfies whom but the public, party and the organization should be satisfied with one's activity."
"I belong to a party and an organization, and only because of that I could become a public leader. I have been born and brought up here, but four years back, as an individual, no one knew me. Today, people know me only because of my party and organization. The party has selected me as a leader and gave me responsibility. Now, if I forget my party and organization, it should not happen," he added.
Tripura Health Minister Sudip Roy Barman was removed from the state cabinet on Friday, while the charges held by him, were allocated to the state's Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb and Deputy Chief Minister Jishnu Dev Varma.
