The Tripura CM has faced severe backlash for saying Diana is not ‘worthy’ of the crown.

He also compared Diana to actress and Miss World 1994 Aishwarya Rai Bachchan by saying that while the latter is a ‘beautiful Indian woman’, the former does not represent the idea of ‘Indian beauty’. Biplab Deb’s controversial remarks against Diana Hayden and the concept of ‘beauty’ have caused a massive outrage across the nation.

While speaking in an interview, Diana Hayden hit back at the Tripura CM and criticised him for his shameful remarks.

Admitting that his comments did ‘hurt’ her, Diana said she is proud of her ‘exotic brown colouring’.

“We need to be proud of our skin (colour). God knows, it is appreciated all around the world. Everybody wants to have our skin colour. The last thing we need is our own people not appreciating it,” the former Miss World said.

In a sharp criticism of Biplab Kumar Deb, Diana Hayden said that

“people in position need to think before they speak”. She said that the Miss World “is the biggest and most respected beauty pageant”.

Biplab Kumar Deb, who recently said that Internet existed during the Mahabharata era, triggered a fresh controversy when he questioned the selection process at international beauty pageants and asked if Diana Hayden “deserved” to win the crown.

“I can understand Aishwarya Rai getting it, at least she has traits of an Indian beauty,” the Tripura chief minister said, adding that for Indians “Goddess Laxmi and Saraswati exemplify beauty”. “I don’t understand the beauty of Diana Hayden. I am not opposing her, but simply questioning the process,” Biplab Deb said.

Twitter also blasted the BJP leader for what one user called as ‘most ridiculous quote of 2018.’

Not to be left behind, the Congress also slammed Deb and said, ‘It’s all in the name for the BJP. Tripura CM Biplab Deb’s ‘vision’ needs to be fine-tuned for ‘vikas’ instead.’

‘Clearly CM @BjpBiplab does not either realise or care about the impact of frivolous comments. Had he got down to the boring task of governing #Tripura instead of leaving it to #babus, he’d have had no time to faff around. This is how power is surrendered (sic),’ noted columnist Kanchan Gupta said.

This is not the first time Biplab Deb has made headlines for his bizarre remarks.

Earlier he had spoken about Indian history and had said that there were satellites and internet during the times of Mahabharata.
