Kolkata: Tripura's education minister outwitted his leader Biplab Deb in making gaffes on Friday.
Ratan Lal Nath compared the former chief minster to great personalities including Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi.
Other personalities Biplab Deb was compared to include Rabindranath Tagore, and Netaji Subhas Bose and Albert Einstein.
Ratan Lal Nath told people in Tripura to consider themselves 'lucky' as Biplab Deb was born in Tripura, according to India Today.
At an event in Dhalai district the minister said unlike previous governments, Deb made "us" dream big and has fulfilled some of those dreams.
Ratan Lal Nath was quoted as saying great men were born India and the world like Subhas Chandra Bose, Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi, Vivekananda, Einstein and Biplab Kumar Deb is for Tripura.
According to Trinamool Congress state president Subal Bhowmik comparing former CM to great personalities amounts to showing disrespect towards them.
