Watch: CM Biplab Kumar sings ‘dil diya hai jaan bhi denge, aye Tripura tere liye’

Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb once again hit the headlines but this time for charming people with his voice instead of a controversial comment. The BJP leader hummed a popular patriotic song  ‘Dil diya hai jaan bhi denge, aye watan tere liye' and received a big applause from the audience.

Tripura CM Biplab sang the song at the closing ceremony of the 6th North East Youth Festival 2018 at Agartala. Bhartiya Janata Yuva Morcha member Somnath Saha took to Twitter and posted his video.

The CM sang the popular song from the film 'Karma' after noted Bollywood singer Alka Yagnik requested him to sing it. Alka Yagnik can also be seen at the closing ceremony in the video. 

‘Dil diya hai jaan bhi denge, aye watan tere liye... is a patriotic song originally sung by Mohammad Aziz and Kavita Krishnamurthy, and starred yesteryear actors Nutan and Dilip Kumar.

The Tripura CM is well-known to stir nation-wide controversies with his statements. Earlier this month, CM made headlines for his statement, "Today, I am announcing that I will start domestication of cows at the CM residence along with my family and will consume its milk. This will also inspire people of Tripura to do the same and would help fight malnutrition."
