Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb has been a regular in the news for the last few days. He has made his opinion known on a range of subjects - from his remarks against Diana Hayden to comparing his government with a lauki (bottle gourd). Perhaps the most bizarre of his comments, however, came on Friday when he said that civil engineers are better suited for civil services as compared to mechanical engineers.
Since then, Twitter has been using the hashtag 'Say it like Biplab' to draw equally bizarre analogies.
The Chief Minister presented his views at an event to mark civil services day in state capital Agartala. His comments were widely derided on social media.
