According to a source, "cabinet structure and government formation were discussed in the meeting".
"Although (caretaker Tripura chief minister) Manik Saha's name has been endorsed by the party high command, BJP rushed Sarma to Agartala as a section of MLAs has pushed the name of Union Minister Pratima Bhaumik as the new CM," another source, from the Tripura unit of the BJP, said.
