But later in the day, Biswas said the party in-charge for Tripura spoke with him and assured that he would meet Biswas and solve all the issues he was facing in the state.

โ€œIf he solves these issues, I donโ€™t have any problem,โ€ Biswas said.

Biswas made the announcement days after All India Mahila Congress president and former Silchar MP Sushmita Dev quit the party and joined the Trinamool Congress.

Biswas alleged that a section of Congress leaders in Agartala tried to disrupt his political endeavours and declined to cooperate with him.
