Open paan shops or raise cows, don't chase govt jobs: Tripura CM Biplab Deb

Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has often found himself in the middle of controversies lately, thanks to his foot-in-mouth statements that trigger strong reactions and criticism. After receiving enough rap for his statements over “internet in the age of Mahabharata” and remarks on why Diana Hayden should never have won world pageants, even as Aishwarya Rai winning was fine, the Tripura chief minister has done it again.

This time, it is with a bizarre career advice to the jobless youth of his state. Deb suggested that they should chase self-employment through setting up paan shops and rearing cows instead of going after government jobs. He asked the educated youth not to run behind politicians for government jobs and instead become “self-employed” for a better living.

According to the Tripura Chief Minister, the youth of Tripura can become self-employed by starting various projects under the animal resource sector with bank loans, under the Prime Minister's Mudra scheme.

It is interesting to note that Deb’s comments come despite and days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi cautioned all the BJP leaders to steer clear of controversies and not make irresponsible statements.
