New Delhi/Agartala, August 09: Former Tripura Chief Minister and BJP Lok Sabha member Biplab Kumar Deb met party National General Secretary (Organisation) B L Santhosh in New Delhi on Saturday along with his wife Triveni Rao Deb.

Santhosh visits Deb’s Delhi residence
Santhosh visited Deb’s residence in the national capital on Saturday evening.
The Tripura West MP later shared photographs of the meeting on his official X account. The pictures showed Deb and his wife with the senior BJP leader.
Deb expressed gratitude to Santhosh for his goodwill and blessings.
He described the meeting as an opportunity to receive the senior organisational leader’s affection and blessings for himself and his family.
The interaction came shortly after Deb’s marriage to Kannada actress and film artist Triveni Rao.
Deb remains active in BJP affairs
Deb continues to remain involved in the BJP’s political and organisational activities.
His meeting with Santhosh also assumes significance as the BJP works to strengthen its organisational machinery in Tripura ahead of local-level elections.
Santhosh is among the BJP’s key organisational leaders. He has played an important role in the party’s organisational strategy across several states.
His recent political responsibilities have included the BJP’s campaign and organisational preparations in West Bengal. The party secured a historic victory in the state, ending the Trinamool Congress’s 15-year tenure in power.
Deb begins new chapter after marriage
Deb, 55, married Triveni Rao on June 19, 2026. The wedding took place in New Delhi in a private ceremony.
It marked the former Chief Minister’s second marriage. He had divorced his first wife, Niti Deb, in 2025.
The couple’s meeting with Santhosh in Delhi followed the marriage and brought together Deb’s personal and political spheres.
From Tripura CM to Lok Sabha MP
Deb has had a significant political career in Tripura.
He became the state’s 10th Chief Minister on March 9, 2018. He remained in office until May 14, 2022.
Under his leadership, the BJP secured a historic electoral victory in Tripura in 2018. The result ended the CPI-M’s 25-year uninterrupted rule in the state.
Deb stepped down as Chief Minister in May 2022. Manik Saha subsequently took over as Tripura Chief Minister.
After leaving the Chief Minister’s post, Deb entered Parliament as a Rajya Sabha member from Tripura. He served in the Upper House from September 2022 until June 2024.
He resigned from the Rajya Sabha after winning the 2024 Lok Sabha election from the West Tripura constituency.
Deb currently represents Tripura West in the Lok Sabha and remains active in BJP affairs at both the state and national levels.
