Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Thursday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of "excluding" northeast in his tweet about India being a "union" of states and said the Congress leader's "ignorance" was the reason "for the party's wipe out" from the region.

Hitting out at Mr Gandhi, Tripura CM said he has "forgotten" the northeastern states.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also slammed Mr Gandhi for not mentioning the North Eastern Region in his tweet.

Tripura CM said Mr Gandhi had "excluded" the region "like his great grandfather" and India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
